    The Django QuerySet docs are very clear on this:

    get(**kwargs)¶

    Returns the object matching the given
    lookup parameters, which should be in
    the format described in Field lookups.

    get() raises MultipleObjectsReturned
    if more than one object was found. The
    MultipleObjectsReturned exception is
    an attribute of the model class.

    get() raises a DoesNotExist exception
    if an object wasn’t found for the
    given parameters. This exception is
    also an attribute of the model class.

    filter(**kwargs)

    Returns a new QuerySet containing objects that match the given lookup parameters.

    Basically use get() when you want to get a single unique object, and filter() when you want to get all objects that match your lookup parameters.
