Ok, if I understand correctly, you *don't want* to bitwise OR "|" them.... short answer:

This tells python "expand this list as arguments". cheers Jared On Thu, Apr 8, 2010 at 6:08 AM, Tom M <mediaf...@googlemail.com> wrote: > Just to explain > > q = q | f if q else f > > is using the short version of if/else, so let's expand that: > > if q: > q = q | f > else: > q = f > > q is only False when you have a Q object with no parameters i.e. Q() > > and as you may have seen above | means OR.
