rename items in values()

[anonymous]

I wish there were a way to do instead of this:

MyModel.objects.values('otherfield__anotherjoinedfield__blah__derp__foo__doop')
{'otherfield__anotherjoinedfield__blah__derp__foo__doop': 4, 'otherfield__anotherjoinedfield__blah__derp__foo__doop': 5, [...]

you could do this:

MyModel.objects.values(val='otherfield__anotherjoinedfield__blah__derp__foo__doop')
{'val': 4, 'val': 5, [...]

1. Please use preview.
2. I think you're looking for ​!__in.

Sorry I didn't realize it would change the formatting. I'd fix it if I could but I can't figure out how to edit it.

"__in" has nothing to do with what the ticket was about. You know how you can rename an annotation by doing .annotate(name=Sum('field'))? Well that functionality should exist for values() as well.
