Question

I have a problem in getting the datetime.date() value in my django…
when i trying to get it like this :

>>> s = Booking.objects.values('date_select').distinct('date_select').filter(date_select='2011-12-1')
>>> print s
[{'date_select': datetime.date(2011, 12, 1)}]

it has the column of date_select, i just only want the datetime.date(2011, 12, 1), do anyone have an idea about it? i also try this one but its not working :

>>> s = Booking.objects.values('date_select').distinct('date_select').filter(date_select='2011-12-1')['date_select']
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<console>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/django/db/models/query.py", line 153, in __getitem__
    raise TypeError
TypeError
>>> 

thanks…

Answer 1

you are getting back a list with one element so you need to do this:

s = Booking.objects.values('date_select').distinct('date_select').filter(date_select='2011-12-1')[0]['date_select']
