Well, I want to display in a template the name of the edition, rather
than the primary key, which means nothing to the user. Meanwhile I
resorted to do the footwork in the view function like so, which allows
me to achieve what I need:
reslist = [{'edition' :Edition.objects.get(pk=a['edition']).__unicode__
(), 'count': a['char__count']} for a in char.textchar_set.values
('edition').annotate(Count('char'))]
Thanks for the help anyway!
All the best,
