Try using Dic.objects.get( ... ) instead of filter( ... ). filter gives you a subset of the table. get gives you a single result. filter doesn't mind giving you an empty result. get assumes you wanted exactly one result, and raises an exception (Dic.DoesNotExist) if the object doesn't exist. Hope this helps. -Forest
