Requirements
------------

* Python 2.6+
* Django 1.3+

Installation
------------

Install using pip::

    pip install -e git+https://github.com/alex/django-filter.git#egg=django-filter

Or clone the repo and add to your PYTHONPATH::

    git clone git@github.com:alex/django-filter.git

Usage
-----

Django-filter can be used for generating interfaces similar to the Django
admin's ``list_filter`` interface.  It has an API very similar to Django's
``ModelForms``.  For example, if you had a Product model you could have a
filterset for it with the code::

    import django_filters

    class ProductFilter(django_filters.FilterSet):
        class Meta:
            model = Product
            fields = ['name', 'price', 'manufacturer']


And then in your view you could do::

    def product_list(request):
        filter = ProductFilter(request.GET, queryset=Product.objects.all())
        return render_to_response('my_app/template.html', {'filter': filter})
