Hi Derek,
If I am thinking correctly, you can build up a list of keyword
arguments in a dictionary for a filter query (or any query).
So, for example, in a for loop:
first time round:
kwargs = {'foo': 'found'} where the key is the database field and the
value is the record(s) you are searching for.
Then you can pass these kwargs in like:
Foo.objects.filter(**kwargs)
Second time round:
kwargs = {'bar': 'found'} where the key is the database field and the
value is the record(s) you are searching for.
Then you can pass these kwargs in like:
Foo.objects.filter(**kwargs)
You can add as many kwargs as you need e.g. {'foo': 'found', 'bar':
'not_found', 'monty': True} etc etc
