How to set the incoming object to true or false in Django

Question

What I want to do is write "True" if there is data suitable for the filters made, otherwise "False"

if ChartSimilar.objects.get(chart=pk, year=year):
   print('True')
else:
   print('False')

charts.models.DoesNotExist: ChartSimilar matching query does not exist. I get an error

with *objects.get* you have to use try block https://stackoverflow.com/a/16288605/9632638 to don't get any error like that — K.D, Sep 25 '22 at 11:16

Here the got query does not exist because the object is not available with a particular id so it's an exception. You can handle it by using try, except block.

try:
    ChartSimilar.objects.get(chart=pk, year=year)
    print('True')
except:
   print('False')
