use of `Topic.comment_count`

[hemache]

why not rely on dynamic counting using Django ORM, something like

topic.comments.count()

I spoke about this issue with @dermoumi. He suggested that I use a property instead, which seams to work pretty fine.

yep, as long as we don't actually store the count in a database column. side question, why not return self.comment_set.count() instead of Comment.objects.filter(topic=self).count() ?

fixed, used the related_name=comments in the definition of the comment model and replaced Comment.objects.filter(topic=self).count() with self.comments.count()
