I am trying to filter a queryset by a list I am getting unicode data into format of 1,4,5,6 by

category = request.GET.getlist(category')
print type(category)data = Leads.objects.filter(item_required__id= category ) 

then i am getting a error

invalid literal for int() with base 10: '1,4'

So how can i fix this.

Traceback:

Thanks in advance.

I done some steps wrong.finally i got and found solution.

    category = request.GET.get('category')
l1=[]category_list =category.split(',')for i in category_list:a =int(i)l1.append(a)cust_leads = CustomerLeads.objects.filter(item_required__id__in= l1 )
