Currently there are two questions saying that you can do what I want:

This works fine when I use -[python] [python-3.x]. However when wanting to get most Python tags except ones tagged [python], it doesn't work. Doing -[python] [python-*] expands to [python-3.x] or [python-2.7] or [python-2.6] -[python], which contains questions tagged [python].

How can I search for all questions tagged; [python-2.6], [python-2.7], or [python-3.x], where none of the questions contain [python]?

You can do it using parentheses with spaces around wildcarded tag. E.g.:

With the addition of there is another way to be able to do this.

Going in the custom filter page and filter by the following tags: not python and python-3.x or not python and python-2.x. This will create this filter.

If you don't mind that results can be stale for up to 7 days, you can leverage SEDE.

I have created this query that let you include tags (wildcard) and exclude a tag.

select distinct top 100 
       p.id as [Post Link]
     , creationdate
from posts p
inner join posttags pt on pt.postid = p.id
inner join tags t on t.id = pt.tagid
and t.tagname like ##include:string## + '%'
and p.tags not like '%<' + ##exclude:string##  + '>%'
order by p.creationdate desc

When you run this today this will be your result:

Keep in mind SEDE is only update once a week, on Sunday. If you want to try and create your own queries you might want to check the awesome tutorial.
