I was under the impression that you'd do something like:
for obj in MyModel.objects.filter(creator__exact=5):
print obj
i.e. .filter() doesn't do anything to the existing MyModel.objects, but
returns a new lazy collection object with extra lookup params. Thus
you could do:
object_set1 = MyModel.objects.filter(creator__exact=1)
object_set2 = MyModel.objects.filter(creator__exact=2)
