Replace that last line with:

mytable.get_list(**search)

That should work if I'm not mistaking.

I'll try thanks!

Actually what I have done is use the where keyword, but this
forces me
to use the real field names of the table and I don't like
very much. I
should be another, perhaphs more pythonic, solution to be
able to
create run time search conditions and pass them to the
django model.
