Comment (by Philipp Kuznetsov): I'm really sorry, of course in case of `in` exception message is `argument of type 'QuerySet' is not iterable`. This has nothing to do with `map` and ofc there's an obvious workaround with `exists()`. What I am afraid of is if there are more of this hidden cases where queryset's `__iter__` raises an exception and it's shadowed by the outer code exception. Replying to [comment:11 Simon Charette]: > Philipp, if you hit a similar exception that means `map` must be involved somehow. > > If you didn't call it yourself then it's likely caused by a usage of `map` internally in the queryset iteration code. > > In this case the ticket resolution still stands, Python 2 `map`'s shadowing of the underlying exception makes it impossible to determine its true nature and thus we cannot conclude Django is at fault. As mentioned previously this should all be solved on Python 3 where `map` doesn't exhibit this behaviour. > > By the way an `in` operation on a queryset you are disposing off is likely to trigger a `MemoryError` just like in the original report. I'd suggest you opt for something along `queryset.filter(pk=instance.pk).exists()` instead. -- Ticket URL: <https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/26600#comment:12> Django <https://code.djangoproject.com/> The Web framework for perfectionists with deadlines. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django updates" group.
