How do I do a not equal in Django queryset filtering?

You can use the exclude() method to filter out records where a certain field is not equal to a certain value. Here's an example:

from myapp.models import MyModel

not_equal_value = 'some value'
results = MyModel.objects.exclude(field_name=not_equal_value)

You can also chain filter() and exclude() together to filter out records that match multiple conditions:

results = MyModel.objects.filter(field1=value1).exclude(field2=value2)

You can also use the ~Q() for not equal.

from django.db.models import Q
results = MyModel.objects.filter(~Q(field_name=not_equal_value))

You can also use the ne keyword to filter out records where a certain field is not equal to a certain value.

results = MyModel.objects.filter(field_name__ne=not_equal_value)
