From Django 1.9 you can use the __date
field lookup, exactly as you have mentioned in your question. For older versions, you will have to do with the other methods.
e.g.
Entry.objects.filter(start__date=datetime.date(2005, 1, 1))
Entry.objects.filter(start__date__gt=datetime.date(2005, 1, 1))

If you can’t use the __date
filter, I think the cleanest way would be to do this:
from datetime import datetime, timedelta
d = datetime.now() # or whatever you want
match_queryset.filter(start__gte=d.date(), start__lt=d.date()+timedelta(days=1))
If you have USE_TZ=True
in Django’s settings.py
, you will get warnings:
RuntimeWarning: DateTimeField (...) received a naive datetime (...) while time zone support is active.
but the filter will still work. The comparison will be made in Django’s timezone (TIME_ZONE
from settings.py
), at least that’s what I’m getting.
