How can I get computed elements of a table in a django queryset?

Question

I\'m trying to use django\'s queryset API to emulate the following query:

SELECT EXTRACT(year FROM chosen_date) AS year, 
EXTRACT(month FROM chosen_date) AS

Just use the raw sql. The raw() manager method can be used to perform raw SQL queries that return model instances.
