I am working on an application in Python/Django. I am trying to make a filter by reducing a list of Q objects with Python's operator.or_ function.
Unfortunately it results in a list that is combined with an AND
rather than operator.or_
.
The problem occurs in the following code:
print 'operator.or_', operator.or_
filter = reduce(operator.or_, q_objects[key])
print key, '->', filter
The statement
print 'operator.or_', operator.or_
results in
operator.or_ <built-in function or_>
so that seems succesful. However,
filter = reduce(operator.or_, q_objects[key])
print key, '->', filter
results in (with added formatting)
some_key -> (
AND:
('some_field__icontains', u'search string 1'),
('other_field__icontains', u'search string 2')
)
As you can see, the result has an AND
rather than an OR
.
Can anyone see what I am doing wrong?
Regarding q_objects[key]
, it is created as follows:
q_dict = {'some_field__icontains': u'search string 1', 'other_field__icontains': u'search string 2'}
q_objects[key] = [Q(**q_dict)]
