Django excluding specific instances from queryset without using field lookup

Question

I sometimes have the need to make sure some instances are excluded from a queryset.
This is the way I do it usually:

unwanted_instance = MyModel.object         


        

Answer 1

you can use "~" with Q Lookup

for example, the following query will get all tickets from ticket model, except TKT_STATUS field that marked as a "solved" status :

from django.db.models import Q

queryset_list = ticket.objects.filter(~Q(TKT_STATUS__iexact="solved"))
