Python - Filtering in Many To Many Relationship in Django - Stack Overflow

The document discusses filtering suppliers in a many-to-many relationship with locations in Django. It provides code examples of defining the location and supplier models with a many-to-many relationship, and filtering suppliers based on a location name passed as a parameter to the view. The answer recommends using lookups that span relationships and passing the location as a URL parameter rather than a context variable to properly filter the suppliers.
