How to turn a query object into a dictionary?

I'm trying to use kwargs in the search function for this project. The difficulty is not necessarily that it is a query object but that im trying to create a single entry with multiple key/value pairs. At one point I was creating a dict that had an entire class object as a value to one key and since then I've tried a lot of different things, iterating through loops within loops, appending empty lists and trying to zip them together, indexing within a loop and now I've tumbled down the rabbit hole so deeply I cannot remember why I needed to use kwargs in the first place. But I'm pretty sure that knowing how to do this will at least be helpful in the future if not immediately after I remember why I wanted to use kwargs in the first place.

Lots of variations on a theme. One of these may be the form you’re looking for in this StackOverflow answer.

Post back which one you choose. Good luck!
