Comment:
This ticket got closed because of a missing use case. For what it is
worth, our "real world use case" is the following:
{{{#!python
class ShippingMethod(models.Model):
....
to_countries = models.ManyToManyField(
Country, through='carriers.ShippingMethodPrice',
through_fields=('method', 'to_country'))
# This is the 2nd ManyToManyField causing E003:
#
# from_countries = models.ManyToManyField(
# Country, through='carriers.ShippingMethodPrice',
# through_fields=('method', 'from_country'), related_name='+')
class ShippingMethodPrice(models.Model):
...
method = models.ForeignKey(
ShippingMethod,
related_name='prices'
)
to_country = models.ForeignKey(Country)
from_country = models.ForeignKey(Country, related_name='+')
price = models.DecimalField()
}}}
So, basically, we have list of shipping methods, and each shipping method
has a price list, containing a specific price per from/to-country
combination.
Given a method, `method.from_countries` should represent the set of all
countries that are occur in the price list as a from-country.
I do not think the workaround suggested in
https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/26352#comment:2 works for us, as our
case involves 3 models.
The hack to disable E003 seems to work, though a real fix (or suggestions
how to receive the same result otherwise) would be appreciated.
