GROUP_CONCAT equivalent in Django

by

You can create your own Aggregate Function (doc)

from django.db.models import Aggregate

class Concat(Aggregate):
    function = 'GROUP_CONCAT'
    template="%(function)s(%(distinct)s%(expressions)s)"

    def __init__(self, expression, distinct=False, **extra):
        super(Concat, self).__init__(
            expression,
            distinct="DISTINCT " if distinct else '',
            output_field=CharField(),
            **extra)

and use it simply as:

query_set = Fruits.objects.values('type').annotate(count=Count('type'),
                       name = Concat('name')).order_by('-count')

I am using django 1.8 and mysql 4.0.3
