How to get a single model object using multiple ORM lookup parameters

employees = Employee.objects.filter(age=23, sex='female')

This would return a queryset.

If 开发者_JAVA百科I assume this queryset only contains one result, how to return that object directly?

Is there any way like using 'get'?

Actually, you can pass multiple lookup parameters in QuerySet's get() method. So how about?

try:
    employee = Employee.objects.get(age=23, sex='female')
except Employee.DoesNotExist:
    # no employee found
except Employee.MultipleObjectsReturned:
    # what to do if multiple employees have been returned?
