I thought django had that. ???

Grails does, and it's part of the reason I like it so much.

It does.

Which is what I was questioning. I thought (rightly) Django had that functionality.

I don't use Django and so I simply didn't know. From the description it just sounded like such a solution would fit the problem.

Even if Django wouldn't have such a system yet, nothing would be keeping someone from writing it.
