you can use 'select_related' here - it'll use a join to prefetch related Term objects: images = Image.objects.select_related('terms').all() > > responseImages = [] > for i in images: > terms = [term.id for term in n.terms.all()] > responseObjects.append({'image': n, 'terms': terms}) I guess this is not your real code !-) I don't know what this 'responseObjects' is - , but if you use Django templates, you just don't need all this above code. Just pass 'images' in the template's context and you'll be fine: <ul> {% for image in images %} <li> <h3>{{ image.title }}</h3> <ul class="terms"> {% for term in image.terms.all %} <li>{{ term.id }}</li> {% endfor %} </ul> </li> {% endfor %} </ul> HTH -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
