recursion - Django recursive relationship -

i'm using django 1.5 , struggling guess pretty basic.

i've got following persons model:

class person(models.model):     contact_person = models.manytomanyfield(contactperson)     first_name = models.charfield(max_length=30)     last_name = models.charfield(max_length=30) ... 

the goal add partner of person model. don't want partner or person superior other; should equal. in other words, when looking person, his/her partner should appear (if there one). need able add partner once, either @ woman's or @ men's side (i don't want link them 2 times).

i've searched documentation onetoonefields, recursive onetoones don't seem supported, i.e. nameerror ("name 'person' not defined") when try:

partner = models.onetoonefield(person, blank=true, null=true) 

can point me in right direction?

try this:

class person(models.model):     first_name = models.charfield(max_length=30)     last_name = models.charfield(max_length=30)     ...     partner = models.onetoonefield('self', null=true, blank=true)      def save(self, checkpartner = true, *args, **kwargs):         super(person, self).save()         if self.partner , checkpartner:             self.partner.partner = self             self.partner.save(checkpartner = false) 

• null true on partner field, has enabled because first person saved not have partner.
• checkpartner parameter has been added save() doesn't fall infinite loop
