django template print either "good morning or afternoon" depending on time of day

Morning,

I'm trying to create a template for an email and I'm unsure on how to get the greeting to flip between "Morning, afternoon and evening" depending on time of day that it is selected to be sent.

Any ideas

current template code 

{% if hour < 12 %}
    morning
{% elif hour > 12 %}
   afternoon
{% endif %}

You can use now in your template like this:

{% now "H" as current_time %}

{% if current_time > 12 %}
    afternoon
{% else %}
    morning
{% endif %}

I would do something like this:

{% if now < midday %}  
    morning
{% else %}
   afternoon
{% endif %}

Where midday is defined as: 

midday= datetime.time(12)

Of course that that midday must be part of your template context!
