Description

get_object_or_404 is a nice helper, but it doesn't support select_related and prefetch_related. At my company, we've had to implement that ourselves, but it would be great if Django had support for those to begin with.

I will totally be willing to create the patch myself, but I want to figure out whether there is support for this improvement. Please let me know if you approve of this change.

The first argument to get_object_or_404 can be a model or manager or query set; therefore it supports all query set methods.

get_object_or_404(MyModel.objects.select_related(), pk=1)
