Hello,

I'm trying to emulate a non-spaces-all-lower text comparison filter in 
Django 1.6.x. In other words, I want the equivalent to this query

select * from myapp_mymodel where replace(lower(str), " ", "") = 
'<user_entry>'
Being my model something like this

from django.db import models
class MyModel(models.Model):
    num = models.IntegerField()
    str = models.CharField(max_length=16)


In my mind, this can be implemented with a custom lookup like this:

MyModel.objects.filter(str__customcomparison='spaces and UPPERCASE will not 
be taken into account')

I know Django 1.7 allows custom lookups creation, but can't make Django 1.6 
work like this. I've tried implementing a custom QuerySet and a custom 
Manager for MyModel. In the custom QuerySet, I override the method 
_filter_or_exclude. 

Am I in the right path? Any suggestion?

Many thanks in advance
