Django, queryset, filter today

Question

I'm trying to query the database and get the entries for today. So I got a model Events with a date time field. Just to clarify, if I remove the date filter, it does return entries from the database. If I add them it does not. I double-checked that there is an item for today.

views.py

def dashboard(request):
    if request.user.is_authenticated():
        now = datetime.datetime.now()
        events_today = Event.objects.filter(date__year=now.year, date__month=now.month, date__day=now.day)
        return render_to_response("dashboard.html", {'today': events_today,},  RequestContext(request))

Update It does work if I change the USE_TZ to False in settings.py. But it doesn't if it's True. Update 2 I even uploaded the project to my VPS just in case it had something to do with my computer but still the same.

Answer 1

Instead of datetime.datetime.now() use timezone.now():

from django.utils import timezone

timezone.now()

Answer 2

I think you can try this query:

events_today = Event.objects.filter(date=datetime.datetime.today())
