Hi all, The patch for this is now ready, as far as I'm concerned, but I'd like to bring it up here again before committing, mainly because Alex Gaynor expressed some doubts.
The latest patch is on the ticket: https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/16937 It is much longer than before, but mainly because of docs and tests. Are there any objections to this? Anssi (akaariai) has done a lot of review of the code, added a bunch of tests and contributed some big performance improvements (although more could still be done), and various bugs have been ironed out. To summarise, it now: - supports related objects of related objects, to arbitrary depth - supports GenericRelation - fully supports non-autocreated 'through' models, which can have FK to non-PK fields. - works as expected with .exists() and .count(), as well as .all(), plus any other QuerySet method that gets its results from a populated result cache if available. All of this means that you can see big performance improvements simply by adding a single prefetch_related() call at the right place. Anssi is planning further extensions, but I think these should wait until the main functionality has been adopted. Regards, Luke -- "I washed a sock. Then I put it in the dryer.
