You can use range to filter in between. I found this the best way to filter since SQL does filtering better than Django.

fromRange=datetime.datetime.strptime(request.GET.get('from'),'%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.%fZ')
toRange=datetime.datetime.strptime(request.GET.get('to'),'%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.%fZ')

entry = Entry.objects.filter(entryTime__range=(fromRange,toRange))
