Referencing a ForeignKey raw value doesn't follow convention

[Giggaflop]

When we want to look up a ForeignKey via a filter, but don't know the name of the Primary Key field, we use Model.objects.filter(pk=lookup_value)

But when we're getting the raw value of a ForeignKey, we use model_instance.foreignkey_id

Surely it should be foreignkey_pk in line with the filter?

Hi!

pk is just a shortcut, in your example it implies id__exact, there's some docs about pk behavior here: ​https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.6/topics/db/queries/#the-pk-lookup-shortcut
