Answer 1

You can use the datetime.datetime.combine method to compare the date object to datetime object, then compare the converted object with the other datetime object.

import datetime

dt1 = datetime.datetime(2011, 03, 03, 11, 12)
day = datetime.date(2011, 03, 02)
dt2 = datetime.datetime.combine(day, datetime.time(0, 0))

print dt1 > dt2
