Python Django: TypeError: cannot unpack non-iterable MatchAll object

I am facing below error when try to query using 'Q' in a viewset. It will work without any issues if I use this in a management command file.

My view.

@permission_classes((AllowAny,))
class ClipartViewSet(viewsets.GenericViewSet):
    serializer_class = ClipartSerializer
    queryset = Clipart.objects.filter(is_active=True).all()

    def list(self, request, **kwargs):
        # Some extra logic
        # qs = Clipart.objects.filter(name="Apes") #This line will work without any issues
        qs = Clipart.objects.filter(Q(name="Apes") | Q(name="Dog"))  # This line will show error

        print(qs)

        return super(ClipartViewSet, self).list(self, request, **kwargs)

Error:

Likely you implement the wrong Q, you import this with:

<pre><code>from <b>django.db.models</b> import Q

@permission_classes((AllowAny,))
class ClipartViewSet(viewsets.GenericViewSet):
serializer_class = ClipartSerializer
queryset = Clipart.objects.filter(is_active=True).all()

def list(self, request, **kwargs):
    qs = Clipart.objects.filter(Q(name='Apes') | Q(name='Dog'))
    return super(ClipartViewSet, self).list(self, request, **kwargs)</code></pre>

that being said, you can simplify the query with an __in lookup&nbsp;^[Django-doc]:

<pre><code>@permission_classes((AllowAny,))
class ClipartViewSet(viewsets.GenericViewSet):
serializer_class = ClipartSerializer
queryset = Clipart.objects.filter(is_active=True).all()

def list(self, request, **kwargs):
    # Some extra logic
    qs = Clipart.objects.filter(<b>name__in=('Apes', 'Dog')</b>)
    print(qs)
    return super(ClipartViewSet, self).list(self, request, **kwargs)</code></pre>
