Lets say you only one field 'question_id' from Paper object -

> Paper.objects.values('question_id')
>[{'question_id': 311L}, {'question_id': 310L}, {'question_id': 291L}, {'question_id': 302L}, {'question_id': 301L}, {'question_id': 300L}, {'question_id': 299L}, {'question_id': 298L}, {'question_id': 294L}, {'question_id': 293L}, {'question_id': 282L}, {'question_id': 281L}, {'question_id': 235L}, {'question_id': 234L}, {'question_id': 233L}, {'question_id': 47L}, {'question_id': 276L}, {'question_id': 48L}]

Now if you want to make list of this question_ids, one way is to loop thru the list of dict and fetch the value, but easy way is following -
