The Prefetch() object can be used to control the operation of prefetch_related() .

The lookup argument describes the relations to follow and works the same as the string based lookups passed to prefetch_related().

For example:

>>> from django.db.models import Prefetch
>>> Question.objects.prefetch_related(Prefetch('choice_set')).get().choice_set.all()
<QuerySet [<Choice: Not much>, <Choice: The sky>, <Choice: Just hacking again>]>
# This will only execute two queries regardless of the number of Question
# and Choice objects.
>>> Question.objects.prefetch_related(Prefetch('choice_set')).all()
<QuerySet [<Question: What's up?>]>
