I'm trying to filter out all items with no tags set, using the Python client library. I've got some stuff working as expected:

c = api.OAuthClient(...)

data = c.Item.filter(kommapp_id, { 'filters': { 'tags': ['existing-tag'] }, 'limit': 50 })

filters out all the items with the tag 'existing-tag'. However, I can't figure out how to get all items that have no tags set. Is there a good way to accomplish this?

  Hi Thomas,

  I can't remember off the top of my head if this is supported for tags or not, but if it is set the'tags' value to null (I think it's called None in Python).

  All the best,

  That was it! I was trying with empty lists etc, but None did the trick. Thanks!

  A followup question: is it possible to filter out items that _don't _ have a specific tag, or none from a list of tags? I.e., if I have 100 items and want to filter out all that have _neither _of the tags "apple", "banana" or "citrus", how would I do that?

  I'm afraid you can't do that. We only offer to filter an inclusive list at the moment. :(

  OK - well, then at least I won't spend more time pulling my hair over how to do it =) Should I send in a formal feature request somewhere (where?) for that, or could you treat this comment thread as such?

  Thanks again
