You can pass kwargs to filter:
query_kwargs = {
'something__startswith' : 'foobar',
'somethingelse__gte': 123
}
qs = MyModel.objects.filter(**query_kwargs)
You can pass a sequence:
q_list = [
Q(foo_bar__icontains='bar'),
Q(bar_baz=123),
]
qs = MyModel.objects.filter(q_list)
Both creates AND queries. If you need something more complex you can chain Q
queries:
q_query = Q() # Initialize empty query
q_query &= Q(foobar__icontains='foobar') # AND part
q_query |= Q(baz=123) # OR part
qs = MyModel.objects.filter(q_query)
