Django filter with OR condition using dict argument

Question

I have a function on my Django app where I perform some Queryset actions and set it\'s result to Memcache. Since it is a function it has to be of general usage. So in order

Answer 1

You can use the bitwise | operator.

my_filter = Q()

# Or the Q object with the ones remaining in the list
my_or_filters = {'some_field__gte':3.5, 'another_field':'Dick Perch'}

for item in my_or_filters:
    my_filter |= Q(**{item:my_or_filters[item]})

model.objects.filter(my_filter)
# unpacks to model.objects.filter(Q(some_field__gte=3.5) | Q(another_field='Dick Perch'))

With this in mind, you may want to load all your queries stored in my_filter into Q objects. Then, you could join all non-OR queries via the same method above w/ the bitwise &: my_filter &= ...
