django - Using a custom reverse manager in Filter -

given have:

class publisher(model):   pass  class author(model):   name = models.charfield(...)   publisher = models.foreignkey(publisher)   is_alive = models.booleanfield(...)   objects = models.manager()  # default manager   alives = alivemanager()    # custom manager 

right can filter using:

publisher.objects.filter(author__name='xxx', author__is_alive=true) 

my question there anyway take advantage of custom reverse manager in filter statement?

publisher.author_set(manager="alives") 

gives me given publisher.

i guess relevant bit in docs:

[...] default filtering in get_queryset() method, filtering apply all() call.

class alivemanager(manager):     def get_queryset(self):         qs = super(alivemanager, self).get_queryset()         return qs.filter(is_alive=true)  class author(model):     name = models.charfield(...)     publisher = models.foreignkey(publisher)     is_alive = models.booleanfield(...)     objects = models.manager()  # default manager     alives = alivemanager()    # custom manager   # returns alive authors publisher.author_set(manager='alives').all() # filters through alive authors publisher.author_set(manager='alives').filter(author__name='xxx')
