Django queryset dynamic filtering

Question

I have a query that looks like this:

cls.objects.filter(name__in=lookup_values).values():

The problem is that sometimes I want to filter by name but other times I want to filter by, say, officer_number or customer_number. Is there a way for me to dynamically set the whatever__in part of the query so it's not hard-coded?

Answer 1

Do you mean something like:

args = {'id__in':[1]}

qs = Something.objects.filter(**args)
