Description

I am trying to negate the sum of values in my model, and the workaround is to multiply by Value(-1).

I get this error when I try to annotate by -Sum('field'):

TypeError
bad operand type for unary -: 'Sum'

I guess we could add support for __neg__, in the mean time Sum('field') * -1 which goes through __mul__ should work just fine.
