I have a bunch of Users. Since Django doesn't really let me extend the default User model, they each have Profiles. The Profiles have a referred_by field (a FK to User). I'm trying to get a list of Users with >= 1 referral. Here's what I've got so far

Profile.objects.filter(referred_by__isnull=False).values_list('referred_by', flat=True)

Which gives me a list of IDs of the users who have referrals... but I need it to be distinct, and I want the User object, not their ID.

Or better yet, it would be nice if it could return the number of referrals a user has.

Any ideas?
