How to get objects from database django?

Question

I have a little problem.

I'm trying to use django filter e.g. SomeTable.objects.filter(someParam="something") this is working well but...

What if i have param name like string in some variable like: test="someParam".

How to now call filter function? I tried SomeTable.objects.filter(eval(test)="something") but seems not working...

Because filter arbitrary number of arguments using **kwargs this should work:

test="someParam"
SomeTable.objects.filter(**{test: "something"})

Just another thing... How to call __iexact function on that parameter?

Try: SomeTable.objects.filter(**{test + '__iexact': "something"})
