Can Django automatically create a related one-to-one model?

Question

I have two models in different apps: ModelA and ModelB. They have a one-to-one relationship. Is there a way django can automatically create and save ModelB when ModelA is saved?

class ModelA(models.Model):     name = models.CharField(max_length=30)  class ModelB(models.Model):     thing = models.OneToOneField(ModelA, primary_key=True)     num_widgets = IntegerField(default=0) 

When I save a new ModelA I want a entry for it to be saved automatically in ModelB. How can I do this? Is there a way to specify that in ModelA? Or is this not possible, and I would just need to create and save ModelB in the view?

Edited to say the models are in different apps.

Take a look at the AutoOneToOneField in django-annoying. From the docs:

from annoying.fields import AutoOneToOneField  class MyProfile(models.Model):     user = AutoOneToOneField(User, primary_key=True)     home_page = models.URLField(max_length=255)     icq = models.CharField(max_length=255) 

(django-annoying is a great little library that includes gems like the render_to decorator and the get_object_or_None and get_config functions)
