Hi guys,
I'm trying to get a better grip on Django design philosophy, and I'm a
little confused as to why calls to a manager's " values() " function
returns foreign keys as the value of their primary key rather than as
django objects. For example:
class Author (models.Model) :
name = CharField(maxlength=100)
class Story (models.Model) :
author = ForeignKey(Author)
"Story.objects.values('author').distinct()" returns a set of
dictionaries whose values are Author.id 's instead of the actual Author
objects. I then have to Author.objects.get(id) for each id, which
seems like the sort of boilerplate code Django usually avoids.
Am I missing a better way of doing this, or a reason it *should* work
this way?
Thanks,
G
