#20993 closed Uncategorized (duplicate)

filtering with F(), then count()ing throws a pickle ValueError

Reported by:	Artscoop <artscoop93.info@…>	Owned by:	nobody

Description

This

results = self.only('id').filter(user=user, topic__isnull=False, date__gte=F('topic__updated'))

works, but

total = self.only('id').filter(user=user, topic__isnull=False, date__gte=F('topic__updated')).count()

does not, and fails with a ValueError : ctypes objects containing pointers cannot be pickled. aggregate(), values_list() and annotate() also fail with the same error. date and topic__updated are DateTimeFields.

Hi,

I tried reproducing your issue butI haven't had much success.

Here's the simplified model that I used:

from django.db import models

class Foo(models.Model):
    bar = models.DateTimeField()
    baz = models.DateTimeField()

With this model, both of these lines work fine:

Foo.objects.only('id').filter(bar__gte=F('baz'))
Foo.objects.only('id').filter(bar__gte=F('baz')).count()

Can you show us the models that you're using (or better yet, a simplified version that reproduces the problem)?
The full traceback would also be helpful in isolating the issue.

I'm closing this as worksforme for now. Please reopen this ticket with more information if you can.

Thanks.

Hi Baptiste,
Here they are

class TopicRead(models.Model):
    topic = models.ForeignKey('messaging.Topic', on_delete=models.CASCADE, verbose_name=_(u"Topic"))
    user = models.ForeignKey('auth.User', verbose_name=_(u"User"))
    date = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=True, db_index=True, verbose_name=_(u"Date"))
    objects = ReadManager()

    class Meta:
        unique_together = (('topic', 'user'),)
        verbose_name = _(u"read")
        verbose_name_plural = _(u"reads")
        app_label = 'messaging'

and Topic

class Topic(models.Model):
    author = models.ForeignKey('auth.User', null=True, verbose_name=_(u"Author"))
    topic = models.CharField(max_length=128, verbose_name=_(u"Topic"))
    started = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True, verbose_name=_(u"Started"))
    updated = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=False, db_index=True, verbose_name=_(u"Updated"))
    deleted = models.BooleanField(default=False, db_index=True, verbose_name=_(u"Deleted"))
    closed = models.BooleanField(default=False, db_index=True, verbose_name=_(u"Fermé"))
    expires = models.DateTimeField(null=True, verbose_name=_(u"Expiry"))
    objects = TopicManager()

comment:3 by Anssi Kääriäinen, 12 years ago

I have a feeling this could be about "deepcopy going too deep" issue, which isn't present in 1.6 any more. I don't have any concrete evidence of that, but deepcopy did go too deep when F() was involved in the query. See #16759 for the deepcopy removal.

comment:4 by Artscoop <artscoop93.info@…>, 12 years ago

Indeed, it has to do with deepcopy which is called 40 times for this query (not counting the private deepcopy and reconstruct), I forgot about the backtrace

I am going to take a look at that ticket, thanks.

And indeed, you were right, after some deprecation fixes on a few places, I'm glad to tell you that it works without any flaw in Django 1.6b2.
Has this fix any chance to get backported one day ?

It's very unlikely to be backported, according to our backwards compatibility policy - https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/internals/release-process/#backwards-compatibility-policy

1.6 is on the horizon though, shouldn't be long to wait.
