27242	Add get_object_or_none to django.shortcuts	Alexey Rogachev	nobody	"Quite often we need to find object of certain model and return `None` if it does not exist. I suggest to add this to `django.shortcuts` similar to `get_object_or_404`:

{{{#!python
def get_object_or_none(klass, *args, **kwargs):
    queryset = _get_queryset(klass)
    try:
        return queryset.get(*args, **kwargs)
    except queryset.model.DoesNotExist:
        return None
}}}

Yes, we can easily create this in our own code, but maybe consider to add this to the core?"	New feature	closed	Core (Other)	dev	Normal	duplicate	object, model, shortcut		Unreviewed	0	0	0	0	0	0
