I found that I should've defined my model like this: {{{ class MyModel(models.Model): my_model = ForeignKey('self') }}} I can do that just fine, of course, but it was a bit non-obvious what the problem was. It'd be nice if defining that relationship improperly threw an exception. | ojii | Forest Bond <forest@alittletooquiet.net> | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
