Comparing time in a datetime object python

I am having a weird problem.

I am running a django app and in one of my models I have a method to compare the time that the user gives and the time that is stored in the model db

So, for debugging purposes, I do this.

print self.start
print start
print self.start.time < start.time

And the output is:

2012-10-15 01:00:00+00:00
2012-10-22 01:01:00+00:00
False

HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE?!?!?!

I tried this in the django shell and in the python cli! Both give me True! With the same values.

Thanks guys.

.time is a method, not a property.

>>> import datetime
>>> a = datetime.datetime(2012, 10, 15, 1, 0, 0)
>>> a.time
<built-in method time of datetime.datetime object at 0x10049f508>
>>> a.time()
datetime.time(1, 0)

Therefore, the correct code would be if self.start.time() < start.time().
