Using localtime in a where clause for GqlQuery

Question
I'm trying to understand how I can use the local server time to quickly filter results on google appengine. It seems to me that there should be a simple way of doing this using DATETIME(time.localtime()).
For example (where 'timestamp' is of type db.DateTimeProperty)...
q = db.GqlQuery("SELECT * FROM LiveData WHERE timestamp > DATETIME(:1)", time.localtime())
Is there a GqlQuery and/or python construct that lets me do this with one method call? It seems as though I need to create strings for DATETIME() parameters.
Solution
You do not have to create strings when querying DateTimeProperty
types. Try this:
import datetime
q = db.GqlQuery("SELECT * FROM LiveData WHERE timestamp > :1", datetime.datetime.now())
