Yes, clear. Thanks. I read that example (found here: http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/models/many_to_one/ ) right after I posted.
I thought this usage made it very clear: # Create an Article via the Reporter object. >>> new_article = r.article_set.create(headline="John's second story", >>> pub_date=datetime(2005, 7, 29)) >>> new_article <Article: John's second story> >>> new_article.reporter.id 1 I'm curious about the use of instance.<item>_set. If I have models: class Foo(models.Model): # something class Bar(models.Model): myFoo = models.ForeignKey(Foo) ...would I be able to say barInstance.myFoo_set.[] ?
