Comment (by Gordon Wrigley): To my mind the duplicate objects in memory is kinda a feature. Specifically it seems desirable to me that a prefetch related clause only changes performance not behaviour. Particularly it seems concerning that adding a prefetch_related to this (very contrived) example would change it's behaviour: {{{ b = Book.objects.get() b.author1.weight = 90 b.author2.weight = 50 print(b.author1.weight + b.author2.weight) }}} -- Ticket URL: <https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/31666#comment:1> Django <https://code.djangoproject.com/> The Web framework for perfectionists with deadlines. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django updates" group.
