Get distinct values of Queryset by field

Question

I\'ve got this model:

class Visit(models.Model):
    timestamp  = models.DateTimeField(editable=False)
    ip_address = models.IPAddressField(editable=False)         


        

Answer 1

The question is different from what the title suggests. If you want set-like behavior from the database, you need something like this.

x = Visit.objects.all().values_list('ip_address', flat=True).distinct()

It should give you something like this for x.

[1.2.3.4, 2.3.4.5, ...]

Where

len(x) == len(set(x))

Returns True
