Problems filtering django datetime field by month and day

Question

Can someone explain to me why the following filters are not working at the month and day level? Filtering by year seems to work, but not the other two.

Answer 1

To update the answer here since I ran into the above issue but none of the solutions worked. Most new mysql installations come pre-installed with tz-info, so the mysql_tzinfo_to_sql command wont really help. And setting TZ_INFO to False isn't really a solution since many need time-zone aware datetime.

So, what worked for me was to create a tz aware datetime object and check against that. Lets say you wanna filter records for today you would do something like,

from datetime import datetime
import pytz

today = datetime.now().replace(tzinfo=pytz.UTC).date()   # tz aware datetime object
todays_records = myModel.objects.filter(created__year=today.year, created__month=today.month,created__day=today.day)

Hope this helps.
