Title Body

I'm currently placing the result of a QuerySet into a JSON string to be used by my js frontend. Currently this is easy enough using .values() and simplejson: simplejson.dumps(list(Task.objects.filter(list=mylist).values())) I've now added a ManyToMany field in my Task object, would like to have it included in my output without having each Task object repeated for every value of the ManyToMany relationship. If I just did Task.objects.filter(list=mylist).values('myManyToManyField', 'someOtherField') The output would have a separate object/row for each value of myManyToManyField [{'myManyToManyField': 1, 'someOtherField': 'valueOne'}, {'myManyToManyField': 2, 'someOtherField': 'valueOne'}, {'myManyToManyField': 1, 'someOtherField': 'valueTwo'}] Is there any way to get this result instead?: [{'myManyToManyField': [1,2], 'someOtherField': 'valueOne'}, {'myManyToManyField': 1, 'someOtherField': 'valueTwo'}] The only solution I have right now is to loop over all the Task objects and build the output manually, placing the ManyToMany value within it as desired. Is there a better way to do this? If not - would this be horribly inefficient?
