Question

This is my first introduction to ‘Long’ Objects, and I haven’t found much in the Django docs on Querysets & long objects. I am trying to join two different queries into a list which I can email each user.

Two questions – is this the proper way to join these queries? If so, how do I access the profile.user.email attribute without hitting this long object error?

email_list = []
for user in request.user.get_profile().followers.all():
    email_list.append(user)


for profile in Profile.objects.filter(city=request.user.get_profile().city.id):    
    if not profile.user.id in email_list:
        print type(profile.user.id)
        email_list.append(profile.user.id)

Error:

AttributeError: 'long' object has no attribute 'email'

Answer 1

You are adding to the list ‘long’ objects (they are just numbers) instead of actual User instances:

email_list.append(profile.user.id)

it should be:

email_list.append(profile.user)
