Question

class event_archive(models.Model):
event_id            = models.AutoField(primary_key=True)
date_submitted      = models.DateTimeField()
event_start_time    = models.DateTimeField()
event_end_time      = models.DateTimeField()
event_closed        = models.BooleanField()

I want to do this : Here is the pseudo_code:

---

event = event_archive.objects.all()
for e in event:
if event_start_time > datetime_now()
    print "upcoming";
elif event_start_time < datetime_now() < event_end_time
    print "now";
elif event_end_time < datetime_now() < **24 hours passed the event ends**
    print "%d hours ago",%hour;
elif event_end_time < datetime_now() > **24 hours passed the event ends** and event_end_time < datetime_now() < **48 hours passed the event ends**
    print "yesterday";
else
    print "recorded"
endif;
endfor;

If you are doing this for a template, use the timeuntil and timesince filters which are designed for this task.
