New description: Not sure if this is a bug. I was attempt to construct a Q object that wouldn't ever match anything (an API calls for a Q object to be returned, but certain situations call for nothing to be matched by it). I initially figured `~ Q()` would do the trick, but that matches everything, just like a plain `Q()`. (I ended up using `Q(pk__isnull=True)`, which is a hack but seems to be OK.) -- Comment: Fixed formatting (you can use "preview" before submitting a ticket). -- Ticket URL: <https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/16893#comment:1> Django <https://code.djangoproject.com/> The Web framework for perfectionists with deadlines. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django updates" group.
