Django in / not in query

Question

I\'m trying to figure out how to write a \'not in\' style query in django. For example, the query structure I\'m thinking of would look like this.

select tab

You can write a custom lookup for Django queries:

From the documentation: "Let’s start with a simple custom lookup. We will write a custom lookup ne which works opposite to exact. Author.objects.filter(name__ne='Jack') will translate to the SQL: "author"."name" <> 'Jack'"

from django.db.models import Lookup

class NotEqual(Lookup):
    lookup_name = 'ne'

    def as_sql(self, compiler, connection):
        lhs, lhs_params = self.process_lhs(compiler, connection)
        rhs, rhs_params = self.process_rhs(compiler, connection)
        params = lhs_params + rhs_params
        return '%s <> %s' % (lhs, rhs), params
