I\'ve got a model similar to this:
class Person(models.Model):
name = models.CharField(max_length=40)
birthday = DateTimeField() # their next birthda
(Queryset of people with a birthday in the next X days) Found cool solution for this! For me it works!
from datetime import datetime, timedelta
import operator
from django.db.models import Q
def birthdays_within(days):
now = datetime.now()
then = now + timedelta(days)
# Build the list of month/day tuples.
monthdays = [(now.month, now.day)]
while now <= then:
monthdays.append((now.month, now.day))
now += timedelta(days=1)
# Tranform each into queryset keyword args.
monthdays = (dict(zip(("birthday__month", "birthday__day"), t))
for t in monthdays)
# Compose the djano.db.models.Q objects together for a single query.
query = reduce(operator.or_, (Q(**d) for d in monthdays))
# Run the query.
return Person.objects.filter(query)
But it get a list of persons that have a birthday in date range. You should change a bit.
