django comment framework: distinct() does not work?
I haven't verified that this is the cause, but Comment model has a default ordering which influences distinct() method:
In [1]: print Comment.objects.values('ip_address').distinct().querySELECT DISTINCT "django_comments"."ip_address", "django_comments"."submit_date" FROM "django_comments" ORDER BY "django_comments"."submit_date" ASCIt's a documented feature.
Now, how could it be that two comments have exactly the same timestamp? I suppose you're using MySQL which doesn't support anything less than a second.
And if you want to get rid of the default ordering, just do:
Comment.objects.order_by().values('ip_address').distinct()
You can wrap your query in set;
distinct() does not go well with values() as per documentation
ip_sets = set(Comment.objects.order_by().values('ip_address'))ip_list = list(set(Comment.objects.order_by().values('ip_address')))
