loaddata and m2m backend tables...

Hi,

I used loaddata to insert some data into my app - now all my model
related tables are correctly populated.

How do I fill in the many to many tables, since there isn't a model
that directly represents those tables?

I found this: http://www.b-list.org/weblog/2007/nov/21/install-time/
but it suggested "use loaddata", which hasn't worked for me...

ie:

class Book(models.Model):
title = models.CharField(max_length=100)
publisher = models.CharField(max_length=40)
date = models.IntegerField()
place = models.CharField(max_length=20)
pages = models.IntegerField(blank=True, null=True)
authors = models.ManyToManyField(Author)

class Writer(models.Model):
first = models.CharField(u'First Name', max_length=30)
other = models.CharField(u'Other Names', max_length=30, blank=True)
last = models.CharField(u'Last Name', max_length=30)
dob = models.DateField(u'Date of Birth', blank=True, null=True)

class Meta:
abstract = True

class Author(Writer):
language = models.CharField(max_length=20, choices=LANGUAGES, blank=True)

books_book and books_author are fine...but how do I populate books_book_authors?

cheers
L.
