Presumably this needs the same behaviour as a Manager i.e. doesn't
cache. So the the filter method needs to return a non-caching
QuerySet. To get a caching version, you would have to do .all(), so
you would have to do this everytime you actually wanted to get data:
Article.objects.all().filter(blah..)
Have not been following the discussion very closely, but why not have a parameter use_cache (defaulting to True) in the get_list and making it completely explicit. Sometimes I like the conveniece of not storing something in a variable, like from within a template, and calling the get_list [or get_set or whatever it is called in this branch] multiple times ( {% if object.get_related_list %} {% for related_item in object.get_related_list %} # do something ... ) while at other times I need the accurate current list.
