Description

Querysets can be converted to list. But list cannot be converted to query set. I wrote a new function in django.db.models.utils package.

from django.db.models.utils import list_to_queryset
queryset = list_to_queryset(object_list)

I don't think this merits inclusion in Django. The code is simple enough that it doesn't add much boilerplate for projects that want the behavior.

There are also several problems with the implementation that might be footguns:
1) Ordering isn't preserved.
2) For large lists, the performance of model.objects.filter(pk__in=pk_list) is usually poor.
