Extracting days,months,years from datefield.

[Malte Beckmann]

I got a models.DateField and would like to extract months and years from that field so I can do calculations like a 'day in month' in a 'for month in months' loop in a 'for year in years' loop. How can I extract that info from a datefield? I have tried to read code written by others but their solutions are not very obvious to me.

The value of a Datefield is a Python datetime.date object. To see the
attributes of datetime.date instances, which include what you want
here, see the Python datetime documentation:
