Python List To Bitwise Operations

Is there a way to take a list of django query expresses (e.g. Q(first_name='Jordan'), where Q is django.db.models.Q) and bitwise OR them together? In other words, I have something

Solution 1:

You probably want

importoperator 
from functools import reduce    # Python 3
search_params = reduce(operator.or_, search_params, Q())

This will place a bit-wise or (|) between all the items in search_params, starting with an empty condition Q().
