How do I convert a django QuerySet to numpy record array?

Question

How do I convert a django QuerySet to numpy record array? PS: I know you can iterate and construct it and but is there any other cleaner solution?

Accepted Answer

What I was looking for:

From `QuerySet` `qs` get `vlqs` (`django.db.models.query.ValuesListQuerySet`)

```
vlqs = qs.values_list()
```

Covert `vlqs` to list

```
mylist = list(vlqs)
```

Create numpy record array

```
# Names are the model fields
r = np.core.records.array(mylist, names='field1, field2, field3') 
```
