Django 1.1.2 & Python 2.6.5

I keep getting this error when executing a seemingly innocent queryset. Looks exactly like the issue described in http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/7204 However, I’m running Django 1.1.2, which is supposed to have the fix for this bug. Has anybody dealt with something similar before?

Here’s the code that constructs the query:

def get_some_data(self, start_date, end_date):
    qset = Transaction.txn_objects.get_transactions_between(self.business,
                                                            start_date, 
                                                            end_date)
    income_qset = qset.filter(invoiceitem__invoice__customer = self)
    income_qset = income_qset.exclude(
                    account=F("invoiceitem__taxtypes__account_payable"))
    sums = income_qset.aggregate(models.Sum('credit_amount')) # fails here

Here’s an abridged version of the traceback (not very useful):

For the benefit of whoever else might run into this, the error is caused by a combination of using django-multilingual and django.db’s F object. Rewriting the code to eliminate F objects solved the issue.

The root cause is actually a bug in Python, for more info see http://bugs.python.org/issue1515
