Very helpful, but in Django 1.2, it should like this:

class Test1(models.Model):
tests2 = models.ManyToManyField('Test2', blank=True)

class Test2(models.Model):
tests1 = models.ManyToManyField(Test1, through=Test1.tests2.through, blank=True)

I found that at this ticket.

This seems to work for me on Django 1.3 without causing a syncdb problem:

class User(models.Model):
#...
groups = ManyToManyField('Group')
class Group(models.Model):
#...
users = ManyToManyField(User,through=WebPage.categories.through)

Still useful two years later. :) Thanks!

Great snippet!
Most elegant solution I found for the problem.
If it's OK for you I'll post this in my (spanish) blog.
Obviously, I'll link back here as original post.

I'm glad it has helped :)

So what's the good way to do this ? Does the use of symmetrical is ok ? I read the same in the doc but it would seem a little cleaner.

Sorry, didn't get notification about comments.
Pieter, docs say ManyToManyField.symmetrical should be used with ManyToManyFields on self only. So if the result is the same it could be a bug (and it can be fixed in next releases).

Have you tried 'symmetrical = False' in ManyToMany...

Have you tried 'symmetrical = False' in ManyToManyField? It will create the same result: one table and related_name in the other class...
Saves some code.

Cheers
