QuerySet.values_list() docs documentation doesn't show correct return type
The values()
documentation (docs/ref/models/querysets.txt) correctly shows the return type of the object:
>>> Entry.objects.values()
<QuerySet [{'blog_id': 1, 'headline': 'First Entry', ...}, ...]>
whereas the values_list()
erroneously shows the return type as a list:
>>> Entry.objects.values_list('id', 'headline')
[(1, 'First entry'), ...]
Simply wrapping <QuerySet> around the list shown might save others getting as confused as I did.
