Peewee: reducing where conditionals break after a certain length

476 views Asked by At

This is what I have:

SomeTable.select.where(reduce(operator.or_, (SomeTable.stuff == entry for entry in big_list)))

The problem arises when I have a relatively large list of elements in big_list and I get this:

RuntimeError: maximum recursion depth exceeded

Is there another way to approach this that doesn't involve splitting up the list into several chunks?

Tried the suggestion to use any, here's my error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

    query._where = self._where.clone()
AttributeError: 'bool' object has no attribute 'clone'

And here's the code

generator = SomeTable.select()
generator = generator.where(any(SomeTable.BIN == entry for entry in big_list))
for d in generator:
    ....

Try ...where(SomeTable.BIN.in_(big_list))

PeeWee has restrictions as to what can be used in their where clause in order to work with the library.

To expand on Jacob's comment on the approved answer, I think he's saying you can use subqueries rather than resolving all the IDs.

E.G.

admin_users = User.select().where(User.is_admin == True)
admin_messages = Message.select().where(Message.user.in_(admin_users))
