Hi, here is the essence: from django.contrib.admin.util NestedObjects collector = NestedObjects(using=None) collector.collect(User.objects.all()) to_delete = collector.nested()
It gives you a raw list of all the objects. For more friendly output see the usage of NestedObjects.nested with the callback. Best would be to have a look into admin sources: django\contrib\admin \util.py Cheers, Waldek On Jan 4, 5:37 pm, diafygi <diaf...@gmail.com> wrote: > In the django admin site, it lists the entries that will be deleted > via cascade if you want to delete something.
