Specifying Django Query Filters at Run Time

How do I specify an arbitrary Django query filter at runtime?

Normally one uses filters like so...

query_set = MyModel.objects.filter(name__iexact='foobar')

But what if I have the query filter specifier contained in a string?

query_specifier = "name_iexact='foobar'"
query_set = MyModel.objects.filter(query_specifier) # <-- This doesn't work; How can I do this?

query_specifier = {
    'name__iexact': 'foobar'
}
query_set = MyModel.objects.filter(**query_specifier)
