Try this query instead:
tag_list = ['my document', 'source code', 'random stuff']
q = session.query(Document)
for t in tag_list:
q = q.filter(Document.tags.any(Tag.tag == t))
q = q.filter(~Document.tags.any(~Tag.tag.in_(tag_list)))
Alternatively, if your database supports aggregating row sets into
arrays/strings (e.g. PostgreSQL supports ARRAY(SELECT ...) to collect
row sets into an array, MySQL and others have GROUP_CONCAT() that I
believe you can use for this purpose), you may prefer a different
technique. I will show an example with PostgreSQL and ARRAY().
subq = session.query(Tag.tag)
subq = subq.join(document_tags)
subq = subq.filter(document_tags.c.document_id == Document.id)
subq = subq.order_by(Tag.tag.asc())
subq = subq.correlate(Document)
subq = subq.subquery()
q = session.query(Document)
q = q.filter(func.array(subq) == sorted(tag_list))
q = q.correlate(s) # May not be needed
This should generate SQL like:
SELECT <Document columns>
FROM document
WHERE ARRAY(
SELECT tag.tag
FROM tag
JOIN document_tags ON document_tags.tag_id = tag.id
WHERE document_tags.document_id = document.id
ORDER BY tag.tag ASC
) = %(array_1)s
where array_1 would be ['my document', 'random stuff', 'source code'].
Note how both the subquery and array_1 have to be sorted. I tend to
prefer this type of query since its complexity doesn't grow as you add
more tags in your search criteria.
