Comment (by dcwatson):
The patch adds a "default" kwarg, that returns the value of "default" if
it's supplied, and raises the DoesNotExist exception otherwise, like
before. So you can do either of the following:
{{{
try:
foo = Foo.objects.get( pk=myid )
except Foo.DoesNotExist, ex:
foo = None
}}}
or
{{{
foo = Foo.objects.get( pk=myid, default=None )
}}}
I think making get() use the first argument as a primary key lookup is
unnecessary with the "pk" shortcut. Also, I'd imagine it would add a lot
of ugly special-casing, since get() is really a convenience for filter(),
whose positional args (if provided) are expected to be Q objects.
