request.user.foo is a manager, same as User.objects. The manager itself isn't a list of objects; you need to use one of the manager methods (like all(), filter() etc) to get the actual objects in the relation. So, something like print "User's foo: %s" % request.user.foo.all() should print what you are after. > When I try to traverse the reference, I can't access any of the > functions or attributes > ========== > request.user.foo.some_function() > AttributeError at /foos/1/ > 'RelatedManager' object has no attribute 'some_function' > ========== Again; request.user.foo isn't an object at this point. You need to poke the related manager to get an object instance before you can invoke a method on it. # Get the first related object and call some_function on it. request.user.foo.all()[0].some_function() # Get the foo object with id=1, and call some_function on it request.user.foo.get(id=1).some_function() # Call some function on all related foo objects. [f.some_function() for f in request.user.foo.all()] Hope this helps.
