Actually, you can. >>> from django.models.article import articles >>> original_constraints = articles.Klass._meta.where_constraints >>> articles.Klass._meta.where_constraints = [] >>> articles.get_list(online__exact=False) >>> articles.Klass._meta.where_constraints = original_constraints But is this safe or will it eventually cause problems?
