Django: Filter results within date range

I needed to add some sort of date ranging filter into my query. To do that, we first calculate the date range.

view sourceprint?

1.import datetime

2. 

3.six_months_ago = (datetime.date.today() - datetime.timedelta(6 * 365 / 12))

This simply figures out the date which was 6 months from today.

To use that to filter a date field (without time information):

view sourceprint?

1.SomeModel.objects.filter(create_date__gte = six_months_ago.isoformat())
