Negate a Q object in Django

Question

I have a complex Q object created dynamically. How do I negate the Q object so that it can be used in filter() instead of exclude()?

Answer 1

Use ~ operator:

complex_condition = ~Q(....)

According to Complex lookups with Q objects:

Q objects can be negated using the ~ operator, allowing for combined lookups that combine both a normal query and a negated (NOT) query
