title: django values list get values only once
body: <p>I want a list with values from a queryset that only appear once.</p>
  
  <p>I have looked at <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10848809/django-model-get-distinct-value-list">this post</a> but this does not seem to work for me.</p>
  
  <p>Example:</p>
  
  <pre><code>CharacterJournal.objects.order_by("date").values_list("reftypeid", flat=True).distinct()
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>returns something like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>[97, 96, 97, 97, 97, 97, 97, 97, 42, 42, 42,  52, 42, 42, 1, 42, '...(remaining elements truncated)...']
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Please help out.</p>
