Something like instance_of_model.many.add(another_instance.many.all())
might work.

I think, but I am not sure, that you should do two chained .filter()
calls. Something like:
qs.filter(many__pk=other_instance1.pk).filter(many__pk=other_instance2.pk).
No guarantees of that doing anything sane :)

ManyRelatedManager reference

2012-02-01 Thread Demetrio Girardi
I can't find a reference for ManyRelatedManager in the django docs. I have 
a few questions that you can ignore if there is in fact a reference somewhere 
and you can point me to it.

If my model is 

class Model(models.Model):
many = models.ManyToManyField(OtherModel)


what does this do?
Model.objects.filter(many = instance_of_other_model)

why do these not work, and what is the correct way to do it?
instance_of_model.many = another_instance.many
instance_of_model.many.add(another_instance.many)

If I have two instances of OtherModel, how do construct a queryset that 
matches all instances of Model that reference both?
