entry that contains a tag with a name of *"music"* and a status of *"public"*.
To handle both of these situations, Django has a consistent way of processing
:meth:`~django.db.models.query.QuerySet.filter` and
:meth:`~django.db.models.query.QuerySet.exclude` calls. Everything inside a
:meth:`~django.db.models.query.QuerySet.filter` calls. Everything inside a
single :meth:`~django.db.models.query.QuerySet.filter` call is applied
simultaneously to filter out items matching all those requirements. Successive
:meth:`~django.db.models.query.QuerySet.filter` calls further restrict the set

may not be the same as the entries in the first filter. We are filtering the
``Blog`` items with each filter statement, not the ``Entry`` items.
All of this behavior also applies to
:meth:`~django.db.models.query.QuerySet.exclude`: all the conditions in a
single :meth:`~django.db.models.query.QuerySet.exclude` statement apply to a
single instance (if those conditions are talking about the same multi-valued
relation). Conditions in subsequent
:meth:`~django.db.models.query.QuerySet.filter` or
:meth:`~django.db.models.query.QuerySet.exclude` calls that refer to the same
relation may end up filtering on different linked objects.
.. note::
The behavior of :meth:`~django.db.models.query.QuerySet.filter` for queries
that span multi-value relationships, as described above, is not implemented
equivalently for :meth:`~django.db.models.query.QuerySet.exclude`. Instead,
the conditions in a single :meth:`~django.db.models.query.QuerySet.exclude`
call will not necessarily refer to the same item.
For example, the following query would exclude blogs that contain *both*
entries with *"Lennon"* in the headline *and* entries published in 2008::
Blog.objects.exclude(
entry__headline__contains='Lennon',
entry__pub_date__year=2008,
)
However, unlike the behavior when using
:meth:`~django.db.models.query.QuerySet.filter`, this will not limit blogs
based on entries that satisfying both conditions. In order to do that, i.e.
to select all blogs that do not contain entries published with *"Lennon"*
that were published in 2008, you need to make two queries::
Blog.objects.exclude(
entry=Entry.objects.filter(
headline__contains='Lennon',
pub_date__year=2008,
),
)
