Comparing DateTimeField to datetime.now()

[Chris McComas]

This is my model, I'm trying to set it so that if the game is in the
future, based on the field date, then to return True, if not return
False.

I am importing datetime in my models.py but for some reason it's
giving me nothing. I tried displaying future and nothing shows up?
What have I done wrong?

How/where are you calling this method?

This code works fine for me:

In [1]: from gallery.models import Gallery
In [2]: g = Gallery.objects.all()[0]
In [3]: g.created_at
Out[3]: datetime.datetime(2010, 4, 1, 7, 11, 51)
In [4]: import datetime
In [5]: n = datetime.datetime.now()
In [6]: g.created_at > n
Out[6]: False
In [7]: [g.created_at, n]
Out[7]:
[datetime.datetime(2010, 4, 1, 7, 11, 51),
datetime.datetime(2010, 7, 14, 8, 53, 22, 960271)]

Are you sure your self.date has been initialized and isn't None?

I'm using it in my template...

Basically this http://dpaste.com/218114/

Mainly I want to use it for the {% if %} but I tried to just show it
was well and still nothing...

How did u import the datetime module?

If you did:

a>

import datetime

Then, use 'datetime.datetime.now()' instead of 'datetime.now()'

b>

from datetime import datetime

Then 'datetime.now()' should work correctly.

Thanks,

This worked:

import datetime
Then, use 'datetime.datetime.now()' instead of 'datetime.now()'

Thanks guys!
