Django:Getting List of values from query set

Question

I have the following query

country=employees.objects.filter(manager_id__emp_id=111).values('emp_loc').distinct()

I get Output as <QuerySet [{'emp_loc': 'IND'}, {'emp_loc': 'MLA'}]>

But I need list

['IND','MLA']

How Can I do it?

Answer 1

Use values_list instead.

country=employees.objects.filter(manager_id__emp_id=111).values_list('emp_loc', flat=True).distinct()
