Root Cause

Calling a custom method on a manager that doesn't exist, or using incorrect syntax.

generic

中文

在管理器上调用不存在的自定义方法，或使用错误的语法。

Workarounds

  1. 95% success Define custom manager method 
    class MyModelManager(models.Manager):
    def filter_by(self, **kwargs):
        return self.filter(**kwargs)
class MyModel(models.Model):
    objects = MyModelManager()
  2. 90% success Use standard filter instead 
    MyModel.objects.filter(field=value)

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. Assuming default manager has custom methods 90% fail

    Default manager only provides standard QuerySet methods.

  2. Using objects.filter_by without defining it 80% fail

    Method must be defined in custom manager.
