If you want to exclude non-active users from a queryset you can use the following filter:

YourModel.objects.exclude(friend__is_active=False)

# or 
YourModel.objects.filter(friend__is_active=True)

Where friend is a ForeignKeyField to a User model object in YourModel.

If you want a more general solution, you can use a ModelManager:

class ActiveUsersOnlyManager(models.Manager):
    def get_queryset(self):
        return super(ActiveUsersOnlyManager, self).get_queryset().filter(is_active=True)


class User(models.Model):
    is_active = models.BooleanField(default=true)
    friends = models.ForeignKey(User)
    # first manager is the default and accessible through objects.
    objects = ActiveUsersManager()
