No. In your example 'visible' isn't a field in your database. Filter is an operation that is converted into a database query, so methods on your Django model can't be used as part of a query. Your best option would be to add visible as a property of the manager, rather than the model, and define that manager operation as an alias for the underlying database operation. See http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/model-api/#custom-managers for more details, but the short version is something like: class ContentManager(models.Manager): def visible(self): return self.filter(priv=False, pub_date__lt=datetime.now()) class Content(models.Model): objects = ContentManager() # Rest of model as before. Then, when you want to use visible, Content.objects.visible() will return a query set that contains all visible objects.
