Django: 'unicode' object has no attribute 'year'. What format date/time do I need?

I'm getting 'unicode' object has no attribute 'year' error from the timesince filter in django. It was working fine previously with strings in this format: "2013-06-20". However I've now updated the string to include an time element: "2013-06-20T11:20:05.499274" causing this error.

What format do I need to give it to handle the time element? Or do I need to do some extra processing in the view?

The timesince filter only accepts dates, not date and time combinations. It displays the time difference from the current time (or optionally, a passed in date to compare with).

In your view, parse that string to its date component only. If it you already have it as a datetime object, simply call .date() on it to get the date part.

If you have it as a string:

fmt = "%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.%f"
date_only = datetime.strptime("2013-06-20T11:20:05.499274", fmt).date()
