remove time from django DateTime in Django

So i need to remove from date Time, so i only get date, year and month.

"2014-04-17T00:00:00"

I looked at different opportunities but it didn't work

class Inventory(models.Model):
manufacturer = models.CharField(max_length=255)
model        = models.CharField(max_length=255)
description  = models.TextField(max_length=255)
count        = models.IntegerField(max_length= 255, default=1)
location     = models.ForeignKey('Location',  null=True, blank=True)
cover        = models.FileField(upload_to = 'static/images/', default = 'static/images/no-image.png')
created      = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)
barcode      = models.CharField(max_length=255)
assigned     = models.ForeignKey(User, blank=True, null=True)
checked      = models.BooleanField(default=False)
modified     = models.DateTimeField(default=datetime.datetime.now)
tags         = TaggableManager(through=None, blank=True)

def __unicode__(self):
    return '%s' % date(self.modified, "n/j/Y")

def format_date(obj):
    return obj.modified.strftime('%d %b %Y %H:%M')
    format_date.short_description = 'Modified'

You can store the time if required, else you can use the Date Field as mentioned here.

However after using DateTimeField in your models, to fetch only date via Django's ORM you can simply do the following:

To Get the Date Only:

User.objects.filter('created_at__date')

To Get the Month Only:

User.objects.filter('created_at__month')

To Get the Year Only:

User.objects.filter('created_at__year')

Just replace modified = models.DateTimeField(default=datetime.datetime.now) with modified = models.DateField(default=datetime.date.now)

this works for me.

def get_date(self):
    return self.modified.date()

This is code will solve your problem:

def get_date(dt):
    """
    Remove the time from datetime field.
    """
    return dt.strftime("%Y-%M-%d")

@property
def modified_date(self):
    return self.get_date(self.modified)

You can also use DateField instead of DateTimeField

You can parse the strftime with dateutil.parser :

import dateutil.parser
datetime_date = dateutil.parser.parse(strf_date)

And then get a strftime date with the part of the datetime you need. In your case, Year, Month, Day :

date_only = datetime_date.strftime("%Y-%M-%d")
