RE: ManyToMany problem

I'm not sure that the example in the Django docs work?

Can anyone confirm or deny this? It looks like the "related.py" code at
lines 720-722 are trying to deal with objects. If you have strings for
either the related object name or for the "through" keyword....it looks
like it fails.

Is this a bug?

Thanks.

Thanks for the response, that's a completely inaccurate statement.

Here's an example from the Django docs:

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.3/topics/db/models/#intermediary-manyt
omany

The Group object has through="Membership".

Although, one thing I notice is that it looks like in the Django example
it is only using 1 ManyToMany field (e.g. the Person model does not have a
manytomany field). Is that required? Only one of the related items can
have a ManyToMany declared?

That wouldn't make a lot of sense though, right? I would want to ask for
all Restaurants a Hood as....and vice versa. I'd want all of the Hoods
that belong to a Restaurant.

Thanks.

I don't think you can make the 'through' argument a string, and I
don't think there's circular dependency issue with the 'through'
kwarg.
