Django object multiple exclude()

Question

Is there a way to do a query and exclude a list of things, instead of calling exclude multiple times?

Answer 1

To improve on Daniel Roseman's answer I think it would be better to get the values you need directly from the queryset instead of the for loop that could be expensive on large data sets i.e.

names_to_exclude = objects_to_exclude.values_list('name')
Foo.objects.exclude(name__in=names_to_exclude)
