[Django]-Storing logic inside database

If it was for me, I would store the rules in database, then
process them from time to time using Celery.

For the model part, I think multi-table inheritance is the way to go, since different rules need to store different data.
In my opinion, django-polymorphic is your friend here:

I suggest something such as:

from django.db import models
from polymorphic import PolymorphicModel


class AbtractRuleObject(models.Model):
    class Meta:
        abstract = True

    def filter_queryset(self, queryset):
        """Will handle actual filtering of the event queryset"""
        raise NotImplementedError

    def match_instance(self, instance):
        raise NotImplementedError

class RuleSet(AbtractRuleObject):
    """Will manage the painful part o handling the OR / AND logic inside the database"""
    NATURE_CHOICES = (
        ('or', 'OR'),
        ('and', 'AND'),
    )
    nature = models.CharField(max_length=5, choices=NATURE_CHOICES, default='and')

    # since a set can belong to another set, etc.
    parent_set = models.ForeignKey('self', null=True, blank=True, related_name='children')

    def filter_queryset(self, queryset):
        """This is rather naive and could be optimized"""
        if not self.parent_set:
            # this is a root rule set so we just filter according to registered rules
            for rule in self.rules:
                if self.nature == 'and':
                    queryset = rule.filter_queryset(queryset)
                elif self.nature == 'or':
                    queryset = queryset | rule.filter_queryset(queryset)
        else:
            # it has children rules set
            for rule_set in self.children:
                if self.nature == 'and':
                    queryset = rule_set.filter_queryset(queryset)
                elif self.nature == 'or':
                    queryset = queryset | rule_set.filter_queryset(queryset)
        return queryset

    def match_instance(self, instance):
        if not self.parent_set:
            if self.nature == 'and':
                return all([rule_set.match_instance(instance) for rule_set in self.children])
            if self.nature == 'any':
                return any([rule_set.match_instance(instance) for rule_set in self.children])
        else:
            if self.nature == 'and':
                return all([rule_set.match_instance(instance) for rule_set in self.children])
            if self.nature == 'any':
                return any([rule_set.match_instance(instance) for rule_set in self.children])

class Rule(AbtractRuleObject, PolymorphicModel):
    """Base class for all rules"""
    attribute = models.CharField(help_text="Attribute of the model on which the rule will apply")
    rule_set = models.ForeignKey(RuleSet, related_name='rules')

class DateRangeRule(Rule):
    start = models.DateField(null=True, blank=True)
    end = models.DateField(null=True, blank=True)

    def filter_queryset(self, queryset):
        filters = {}
        if self.start:
            filters['{0}__gte'.format(self.attribute)] = self.start
        if self.end:
            filters['{0}__lte'.format(self.attribute)] = self.end
        return queryset.filter(**filters)

    def match_instance(self, instance):
        start_ok = True
        end_ok = True
        if self.start:
            start_ok = getattr(instance, self.attribute) >= self.start
        if self.end:
            end_ok = getattr(instance, self.attribute) <= self.end

        return start_ok and end_ok

class MatchStringRule(Rule):
    match = models.CharField()
    def filter_queryset(self, queryset):
        filters = {'{0}'.format(self.attribute): self.match}
        return queryset.filter(**filters)

    def match_instance(self, instance):
        return getattr(instance, self.attribute) == self.match

class StartsWithRule(Rule):
    start = models.CharField()

    def filter_queryset(self, queryset):
        filters = {'{0}__startswith'.format(self.attribute): self.start}
        return queryset.filter(**filters)

    def match_instance(self, instance):
        return getattr(instance, self.attribute).startswith(self.start)

Now, assuming your Event and City models look like:

class Country(models.Model):
    continent = models.CharField()
    name = models.CharField(unique=True)

class City(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(unique=True)
    country = models.ForeignKey(Country)
    founded_date = models.DateField()

class Event(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(unique=True)
    city = models.ForeignKey(City)
    start = models.DateField()
    end = models.DateField()

Then you can use my example as follow:

global_set = RuleSet(nature='and')
global_set.save()

set1 = RuleSet(nature='and', parent_set=global_set)
set1.save()

year_range = DateRangeRule(start=datetime.date(1200, 1, 1),
                           end=datetime.date(1400, 1, 1),
                           attribute='city__founded_date',
                           rule_set=set1)
year_range.save()

set2 = RuleSet(nature='or', parent_set=global_set)
set2.save()

startswith_f = StartsWithRule(start='F',
                              attribute='city__country__name')
                              rule_set=set2)
startswith_f.save()

exact_match = MatchStringRule(match='South Africa',
                              attribute='city__country__continent')
                              rule_set=set2)
exact_match.save()

queryset = Event.objects.all()

# Magic happens here

# Get all instances corresponding to the rules
filtered_queryset = global_set.filter_queryset(queryset)

# Check if a specific instance match the rules
assert global_set.match_instance(filtered_queryset[0]) == True

The code is absolutely untested, but I think it could eventually work or, at least, give you
an implementation idea.

I hope it helps!
