How to dynamically compose an OR query filter in Django?

Question

From an example you can see a multiple OR query filter:

Article.objects.filter(Q(pk=1) | Q(pk=2) | Q(pk=3))

For example, this results in:

[<Article: Hello>, <Article: Goodbye>, <Article: Hello and goodbye>]

However, I want to create this query filter from a list. How to do that?

e.g. [1, 2, 3] -> Article.objects.filter(Q(pk=1) | Q(pk=2) | Q(pk=3))

Answer 1

Maybe it's better to use sql IN statement.

Article.objects.filter(id__in=[1, 2, 3])

See queryset api reference.

If you really need to make queries with dynamic logic, you can do something like this (ugly + not tested):

query = Q(field=1)
for cond in (2, 3):
    query = query | Q(field=cond)
Article.objects.filter(query)

Answer 2

See the docs:

>>> Blog.objects.in_bulk([1])
{1: <Blog: Beatles Blog>}
>>> Blog.objects.in_bulk([1, 2])
{1: <Blog: Beatles Blog>, 2: <Blog: Cheddar Talk>}
>>> Blog.objects.in_bulk([])
{}

Note that this method only works for primary key lookups, but that seems to be what you're trying to do.

So what you want is:

Article.objects.in_bulk([1, 2, 3])
