Hello Django users,

Is there a particular reason why using a related OneToOneField raises
DoesNotExist instead of returning None?

| class Person( Model ):
|    pass
|
| class Pet( Model ):
|    owner = OneToOneField( Person )
|
| # Assuming "joe" exists as a Person
| >>> kitty = joe.pet
| DoesNotExist: Pet matching query does not exist.

SingleRelatedObjectDescriptor is expecting the related model to exist.
OneToOneField being a subclass of ForeignKey, my first attempt was:

| >>> kitty = joe.pet.get_or_create()
| DoesNotExist: Pet matching query does not exist.

It's the getter of "joe.pet" which fails. Is it that OneToOneField is
not popular enough to receive such an implementation, or is there a
deeper philosophical reason I don't see?

-Eric
