Nowhere. > Is it part of MyModel or somewhere else? Nope, it's only a keyword argument - nothing else than a litteral name, really. As Christian already mentioned, the solution here is to build the name as a string, use this string as a key in a dict, then pass the dict to filter using the **youdicthere calling convention.
