I would like to know if anyone knows how to create custom operators
for querysets.

Currently you can do something like:

foo.objects.filter(myfield__icontains = x)

I would like to add my own operator so I can do something like:

foo.objects.filter(myfield__converttext = x)

where "converttext" would be my own operator. Currently there a few
operators in the django/db/backends/mysql/base.py:

operators = {
        'exact': '= %s',
        'iexact': 'LIKE %s',
        'contains': 'LIKE BINARY %s',
        'icontains': 'LIKE %s',
        'regex': 'REGEXP BINARY %s',
        'iregex': 'REGEXP %s',
        'gt': '> %s',
        'gte': '>= %s',
        'lt': '< %s',
        'lte': '<= %s',
        'startswith': 'LIKE BINARY %s',
        'endswith': 'LIKE BINARY %s',
        'istartswith': 'LIKE %s',
        'iendswith': 'LIKE %s',
    }

I would like to add to this dict without modifying the django code.

Any help would be appreciated.
