title: models.py with ManyToMany and progmatically adding data via a shell script
body: <p>First post to stackoverflow I did do a search and came up dry.  I also own 
  the django book (Forcier,Bissex,Chun) and they don't explain how to do 
  this.  In short I can't figure out how to progmatically add a data via 
  a python shell script to the ManyToMay model.. </p>
  
  <pre><code>from django.db import models
  from django.contrib import admin
  
  class Client(models.Model):
    client        = models.CharField(max_length=256, primary_key=True)
    access        = models.DateField()
    description   = models.TextField()
    host          = models.CharField(max_length=256)
    lineEnd       = models.CharField(max_length=256)
    options       = models.TextField()
    owner         = models.CharField(max_length=100)
    root          = models.CharField(max_length=256)
    submitOptions = models.CharField(max_length=256)
    update        = models.DateField()
    def __unicode__(self):
      return str(self.client)
  admin.site.register(Client)
  
  
  class Change(models.Model):
    """This simply expands out 'p4 describe' """
    change        = models.IntegerField(primary_key=True)
    client        = models.ManyToManyField(Client)
    desc          = models.TextField()
    status        = models.CharField(max_length=128)
    def __unicode__(self):
      return str(self.change)
  admin.site.register(Change)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Here is what I have which works but I don't know how to add the 
  ManyToMany.  I can't seem to figure out how to progmatically call it. 
  I know the row in SQL exists. </p>
  
  <p>---  massImport.py --- </p>
  
  <pre><code># Assume the client "clientspec" exists.  I know how to create that if 
  neeeded. 
  changes = [ { 'change': 123, 'desc': "foobar", status': "foobar", 
  client': "clientspec", }] 
  for item in changes: 
    entry = Change( 
              change    = item['change'], 
              desc    = item['desc'], 
              status    = item['status'], 
              # client    = Client.objects.filter(client=item['client']) 
              ) 
    entry.save() 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Can anyone show me where the error of my ways is.  I would really 
  appreciate it. 
  Thanks!! </p>
