Question

Quite simply this is my question:

class A(models.Model):
  x = DateTimeField(...)

class B(models.Model):
  x = DateField(...)

Given an instance of A and B, how do I simply set b.x to a.x? Simply setting b.x to a.x results in b.x being None.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Use datetime.datetime.date() to get the date component like so:

a = A()
b = B()

# Stuff

b.x = a.x.date()

See http://docs.python.org/library/datetime.html#datetime-objects for more details.
