I've been using django-model-utils for a while and really love it.

I contributed the patch for PassThroughManager that adds the for_queryset_class.

I agree that it's not pretty, but there's a bit of history that made it that way.

There are lot of custom QuerySet snippets floating around. One was `manager_from` by George Sakkis which Carl included in django-model-utils in July 2010. It was great except that the QuerySets it returned couldn't be pickled. It is currently pending deprecation.

It was replaced by Paul McLanahan's PassThroughManager.

You used it like

    objects = PassThroughManager(MyQuerySet)

That looks great except when related managers are instantiated, they aren't passed MyQuerySet (I haven't looked at the code in while and you have to dig around, but check out https://github.com/django/django/blob/master/django/db/model...).

You can still use it the old way but if you had an `alive` method on your QuerySet, you couldn't do:

    home.occupant_set.alive()
