Chunk large QuerySets into small chunks, and iterate over them without killing your RAM.

Tested with all the combinations of:

• Python: 2.7, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7
• Django: 1.11, 2, 2.1, master

from chunkator import chunkator
for item in chunkator(LargeModel.objects.all(), 200):
    do_something(item)

This tool is intended to work on Django querysets.

Your model must define a pk field (this is done by default, but sometimes it can be overridden) and this pk has to be unique. django- chunkator has been tested with PostgreSQL and SQLite, using regular PKs and UUIDs as primary keys.

You can also use values():

from chunkator import chunkator
for item in chunkator(LargeModel.objects.values('pk', 'name'), 200):
    do_something(item)

If you want to manipulate the pages directly, you can use `chunkator_page`:

from chunkator import chunkator_page
queryset = LargeModel.objects.all().values('pk')
for page in chunkator_page(queryset, 200):
    launch_some_task([item['pk'] for item in page])
