Methods that return a ``QuerySet`` such as ``Manager.get_query_set`` or
``ModelAdmin.queryset`` have been renamed to ``get_queryset``.
+If you are writing a library that implements, for example, a
+``Manager.get_query_set`` method, and you need to support old Django versions,
+you should rename the method and conditionally add an alias with the old name::
+
+ class CustomManager(models.Manager):
+ def get_queryset(self):
+ pass # ...
+
+ if django.VERSION < (1, 6):
+ get_query_set = get_queryset
+
+ # For Django >= 1.6, models.Manager provides a get_query_set fallback
+ # that emits a warning when used.
+
+If you are writing a library that needs to call the ``get_queryset`` method and
+must support old Django versions, you should write::
+
+ method = getattr(some_manager, 'get_queryset', some_manager.get_query_set)
+ method(params)
