Can a manager's get_queryset function query across relationships? - django

Question

I'm trying to use a custom Manager class to limit the queryset when accessing objects from a model. But I'd like to limit the queryset with fields from a related model, something like
class MyManager(models.Manager):
def get_queryset(self):
return super(MyManager, self).get_queryset().filter(user__is_active=True)
class MyModel(models.Model):
objects = MyManager()
user = models.OneToOneField(settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL)
But the AppRegistry complains, saying that models aren't loaded yet, which I assume to mean the cross query with user in get_queryset, even though the django.contrib.auth app is being loaded before this app. What's going on?
EDIT: Traceback (see the line where it says user__groups__name=GROUP_MEMBER)
