2544	Pass variables from url handler to the query set of a generic view	jon@…	nobody	"If would be nice if you could pass variables from the url regexp in urls.py to the filter of a query set when using generic views.

{{{(r'^/?(?P<person>\w+)/$', 'django.views.generic.list_detail.object_list', {'queryset': Item.objects.filter(name__name__iexact=person))}}}

Currently, a statement similar to the following will fail with a NameError similar to the below:

{{{NameError at /dave/
name 'person' is not defined
Request Method: GET
Request URL:    http://localhost:8000/dave/
Exception Type: NameError
Exception Value:        name 'dave' is not defined}}}

The ideal behaviour would be that the filter function would be able to accept values from the url dispatcher.
