Query Django Users by get_username method
I am trying to get the Django User object with a specific username. The obvious way to do it is like this:
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
bob = User.objects.get(username="Bob")
But I noticed that User objects have a get_username() method which states that
you should use this method instead of referencing the username attribute directly.
This makes me wary of using the attribute in queries.
Is there a way to query User objects by this method instead of by the username attribute? I'm looking for a more elegant, queryset-oriented version of this:
bob = [u for u in User.objects.all() if u.get_username() == "Bob"][0]
if such a thing exists.
