Writing managers is really simple, and they provide a better user interface to your code. This code snippet simply adds a latest() method to the default objects manager class ForecastDayManager(Manager): def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs): super(ForecastDayManager, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs) def latest(self): return self.get_query_set().order_by('forecast_date')[0] It can be called ForecastDay.objects.latest().
