How to make the argument to filter() a variable?

Question

I have this model

class Item(db.Model):
    ...   
    glam = db.StringProperty()
    casual = db.StringProperty()
    speaking = db.StringProperty()
         


        

Answer 1

query.filter(self.request.get("tag"), self.request.get("tag"))

The = is actually not required.

However, I'd also consider using a single StringProperty for the tag, since it appears that your 3 string properties are essentially booleans, and only one of them can be true at a time.
