how to have Accent-insensitive filter in django with postgres?

Question

Hi I find that on postgres database, we can\'t configure default accent sensivity (on old mail exchanges).

Is there a way to have a _icontains also insensitive to specia

I just released (a few days ago) the django-unaccent library that add operators to the django ORM for unaccent search. It monkeypatch the django ORM and uses the unaccent() function of postgres to do so.
