Problem: In a model that holds nothing else than a ManyToManyField, I obviously have to introduce an unused field, e.g. unused = CharField(maxlength=1)
Otherwise, some operations on the model (including save(), that I feel to be important ;-) ) raise an Exception (Stacktrace added below.) ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ It can be reproduced with the ManyToMany-Example http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/models/many_to_many/ Just change the Article to have no "headline" anymore: class Article(meta.Model): #headline = meta.CharField(maxlength=100) publications = meta.ManyToManyField(Publication) def __repr__(self): return ""#self.headline Now do the usual code from the example: # Create a couple of Publications. p1 = publications.Publication(id=None, title='The Python Journal') p1.save() p2 = publications.Publication(id=None, title='Science News') p2.save() # Create an Article. a1 = articles.Article(id=None, ) #, headline='Django lets you build Web apps easily') a1.save() a1.save() I can only save() the article a single time, but then nevermore. The second save() will raise the exception (I added below). Note that the Article is still created with an argument (id=None) but it does not help. Versions: Django rev.2536 (but same with older rev23xx),Python 2.3. Regards.
