Ok.... I figured out how to create the primary object one at atime with ForiegnKeys by setting the appropriate combination of relatedclass_id and relatedclass.get_id(key__exact..) calls. The problem now is with its cooresponding ManyToManyFields (These are not needed at create time) The reference guide and tutorial refer to using class.add_relatedclass(...) calls but that fails when I try to use these. python says: AttributeError: object has no attribute add_relatedclass I do, however, see methods for **set_relatedclass** when I dir the primary class. The documentation, to the best of my knowledge, doesn't mention how to use these methods.
