If you don’t provide a lookup type – that is, if your keyword argument doesn’t contain a double underscore – the lookup type is assumed to be
exact
.
And yes, you can use any field you can provide an equivalent Python type for.
Question
Like we can see here:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.6/ref/models/querysets/#get
Entry.objects.get(id='foo')
Shouldn't only Entry.objects.get(id__exact='foo') acceptable? Can we substitute id with other fields like get(name='bar')?
