class Entity(EntityBase):
    '''
    The base class for all entities

    All Elixir model objects should inherit from this class. Statements can
    appear within the body of the definition of an entity to define its
    fields, relationships, and other options.

    Here is an example:

    .. sourcecode:: python

        class Person(Entity):
            name = Field(Unicode(128))
            birthdate = Field(DateTime, default=datetime.now)

    Please note, that if you don't specify any primary keys, Elixir will
    automatically create one called ``id``.

    For further information, please refer to the provided examples or
    tutorial.
