Hi,
First of all, thanks to both of you.
Mmm... even if Olive's answer works, it's indeed, as he say, not very
pythonic nor very django-like.
On the other hand, I would not be very concerned about the fact that
the developper must know the underlying database tablenames, as this
already happen with other commands as the get() or the filter(). In
deed, you can find in those commands arguments like
table1__table2__name__exact.
I'll follow this thread with interest anyway.
Thanks again for your answers.
