Question

How can I convert a QuerySet to a list?

myWords = MyGroup.objects.get(name="bla").allkeyword
# To
myWords = ["meltemi", "bla"]

class MyGroup(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=32, unique=True)
    allkeyword = models.ManyToManyField('KeywordTag')
    def __unicode__(self):
        return '%s' % (self.name)

class KeywordTag(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=32, unique=True)
    def __unicode__(self):
        return self.name

Answer 1

You can use values_list():

myWords = MyGroup.objects.get(name = "bla").allkeyword.values_list('name', flat=True)
