I"m trying to write a custom filter method that takes an arbitrary number of kwargs and returns a list containing the elements of a database-like list that contain those kwargs.
For example, suppose d1 = {"a":"2", "b":"3"} and d2 = the same thing. d1 == d2 results in True. But suppose d2 = the same thing plus a bunch of other things. My method needs to be able to tell if d1 in d2, but Python can"t do that with dictionaries.
Context:
I have a Word class, and each object has properties like word, definition, part_of_speech, and so on. I want to be able to call a filter method on the main list of these words, like Word.objects.filter(word="jump", part_of_speech="verb-intransitive"). I can"t figure out how to manage these keys and values at the same time. But this could have larger functionality outside this context for other people.
