Description
Hey
i read here about two way referencing in mongoengine
https://www.mongodb.com/blog/post/6-rules-of-thumb-for-mongodb-schema-design-part-2
how can it be done in mongoengine?
since if i do
class A(Document):
a=ReferenceField(B)
and
class B(Document):
b=ReferenceField(A)
i will get error for circular imports since the module that contains A import B and the module that contains B imports A
