django - Remove (filter out) objects from queryset -

i'd remove 3 objects queryset. working of list, im pretty sure there should better way queryset api. didnt figure out how yet:

what i'm doing:

ranks = rank.objects.all() remove_ranks = ['field marshall', 'military attache', 'mercenary recruiter'] new_ranks =[]  rank in ranks:     if not rank.name in remove_ranks:         new_ranks.append(rank) 

how can using django api ?

try

remove_ranks = ['field marshall', 'military attache', 'mercenary recruiter'] rank.objects.exclude(name__in=remove_ranks) 

what do?

.exclude opposite of .filter

name__in equivalent of in-statement in sql

this should produce sql query along line

select * rank name not in ('field marshall', 'military attache', 'mercenary recruiter')
