How to use django model outside of django framework?

Django (web framework): What are good ways to model a many to many relationship without a intermediate table?

• For example: Question and Answers In class Question i have a field called answers that is a many to many field. I want to use the Answer table to get all answer for a specific question. class Answer(models.Model): class Question(Post):     answers = models.ManyToManyField(Answer) Generates: create table "answer" (...); create table "question_answers" (     "id" integer not null primary key,     "question_id" integer not null,     "answer_id" integer not null references "answer" ); create table "question" (...);

• Answer:

  Instead of an m2m, you should have a one-to-many, which you record on the many side... class Question(models.Model):     ... class Answer(Model):     question = models.ForeignKey(Question) Then, given a question you can get the answers: question.answer_set.all() More here: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/models/relations/
