__init__(self, db, op, first=None, second=None, ignore_common_filters=False, **optional_args)
(Constructor)

source code 

x.__init__(...) initializes x; see help(type(x)) for signature

Overrides: object.__init__
(inherited documentation)

__repr__(self)
(Representation operator)

source code 

repr(x)

Overrides: object.__repr__
(inherited documentation)

__str__(self)
(Informal representation operator)

source code 

str(x)

Overrides: object.__str__
(inherited documentation)

as_dict(self, flat=False, sanitize=True)

source code 
Experimental stuff

This allows to return a plain dictionary with the basic
query representation. Can be used with json/xml services
for client-side db I/O

Example:
>>> q = db.auth_user.id != 0
>>> q.as_dict(flat=True)
{"op": "NE", "first":{"tablename": "auth_user",
                      "fieldname": "id"},
             "second":0}
