django-taggit deep relationship query

Question

I'm using django-taggit and I came upon a problem when trying to filter across relationships.

Having the following models:

class Artist(models.Model):
     tags = TaggableManager()


class Gig(models.Model):
    artist = models.ManyToManyField(Artist)

What I would like to achieve is the get all gigs who's artist(s) have a specific tag.

I thought this would be easy and eagerly wrote:

Gig.objects.filter(artist__tags__name__in=["rock"])

Which gave me:

 FieldError: Cannot resolve keyword 'tagged_items' into field. Choices are: artist, date, id, location, url

Answer 1

I managed to fix it by commenting out TaggableManager.extra_filters() in manage.py.

Take it with a grain of salt, because I have no idea what I may have broken by doing this.
