how to convert a QuerySet to a set in django?

Question

I have a query, name_phonenum = person.objects.value_list('first_name','phone_num') I want to convert the queryset to a set. Any idea how can do it.

Answer 1

You can wrap it over a set(…):

set(person.objects.value_list('first_name','phone_num'))

But you can let the database do the work with the .distinct(…) method ^[Django-doc]:

person.objects.value_list('first_name','phone_num').distinct()

this will minimize the bandwidth from the database to the application layer.
