Please describe.**\r\nI want to be able to extend a model generated by this project in my business logic. A basic example would be:\r\n\r\n```python\r\n# GeneratedModel generated by openapi-python-client\r\n\r\nclass EnhancedGeneratedModel(GeneratedModel):\r\n  def id_eq(self, other: GeneratedModel) -\u003e bool:\r\n     return self.id == other.id\r\n```\r\n\r\nI cannot use `EnhancedGeneratedModel.from_dict` as that would return a `GeneratedModel`.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n**Describe the solution you'd like**\r\nUpdate the [`from_dict`](https://github.com/triaxtec/openapi-python-client/blob/196a8fc7c6c0abeb0b9b690a4cb9cbfed7fbe994/openapi_python_client/templates/model.pyi#L34) template in `openapi_python_client/templates/model.pyi` to be a `@classmethod` instead of a `@staticmethod` and use the passed class object to instantiate the model.\r\n\r\ni.e. change from\r\n```python\r\n@staticmethod\r\ndef from_dict(d: Dict[str, Any]) -\u003e \"{{ model.reference.class_name }}\":\r\n  # ... \r\n  return {{ model.reference.class_name }}(...)\r\n```\r\nto\r\n\r\n```python\r\n@classmethod\r\ndef from_dict(cls, d: Dict[str, Any]) -\u003e \"{{ model.reference.class_name }}\":\r\n  # ... \r\n  return cls(...)\r\n```\r\n\r\n**Describe alternatives you've considered**\r\nManually creating a `from_dict` method on the extended class.","author":{"url":"https://github.com/packyg","@type":"Person","name":"packyg"},"datePublished":"2020-10-13T21:34:45.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":1},"url":"https://github.com/215/openapi-python-client/issues/215"}
