Django, filter by specified month and year in date range

Question

I have the following models

class Destination_Deal(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(_(\"Nombre\"),max_length=200)

class Departure_Date(models.Model):         


        

Answer 1

Solution using python code only. Main idea is to construct date_from and date_to with python. Then these dates can be used in filter with __lte and __gte:

import calendar
from datetime import datetime
from django.db.models import Q

def in_month_year(month, year):
    d_fmt = "{0:>02}.{1:>02}.{2}"
    date_from = datetime.strptime(
        d_fmt.format(1, month, year), '%d.%m.%Y').date()
    last_day_of_month = calendar.monthrange(year, month)[1]
    date_to = datetime.strptime(
        d_fmt.format(last_day_of_month, month, year), '%d.%m.%Y').date()
    return Departure_Date.objects.filter(
        Q(date_from__gte=date_from, date_from__lte=date_to)
         |
        Q(date_from__lt=date_from, date_to__gte=date_from))

Now this will work:

>>> Departure_Date.objects.all()
[,
,
,
,
]


>>> in_month_year(month=1, year=2013)
[,
]
