Here is the pertinent code: def reconcile_inv(request): errors = [] cs_list = [] return_dc = {} cs_hold_rec_count = 0 try: cs_hold_rec_count = CsInvHold.objects.count() qs = CsInvHold.objects.filter(inventory_ok=0) if qs: cs_list.append(['','Customer Synch Data On Hold Due To Missing From AMR Inventory', '']) cs_list.append(['PremiseID', 'Endpoint ID', 'Date Entered'])
for each_q in qs: cs_list.append([str(each_q.premiseid), int(each_q.endpointid), str(each_q.last_update)]) except ObjectDoesNotExist: cs_hold_rec_count = 0 My understanding is this line of code -- qs = CsInvHold.objects.filter(inventory_ok=0) -- should return a query set. It seems to return a CsInvHold object reference. Why does that happen? Given that I have a CsInvHold object reference, is there a way to get a list of the values, instead of explicitly pulling them out in these lines? for each_q in qs: cs_list.append([str(each_q.premiseid), int(each_q.endpointid), str(each_q.last_update)]) This has nothing to do with the function being called. I'm asking 1 about the documentation and 2 about a possible method in the Django model that would return a list.
