Hello all, In one of my models, I want to store a timedelta--a length of time not tied to a particular start and end date. Although timedeltas are built into Python, tragically there's no TimeDeltaField in Django.
Extra complications: * The timedelta can be quite large -- on the scale of one week to several months. * The timedelta has a default value, but it can be changed by the administrator. * I want the default timedelta length to be one month (which, of course, has a variable number of days!) It seems like *someone* has to have been able to do this, if only as a custom model field. But I wasn't able to find anything in the archives on this list and the #django IRC logger down so I couldn't search that. :/ I did read the docs on how to write a custom model, but it looks terribly confusing--it's not clear which or how many of the attributes mentioned in the docs I would need to customize, given that it *is* a built-in Python variable type, and I have exactly zero experience dealing with databases directly. If anyone's got a hack around this limitation to recommend, or even some more relevant sample code than what's in the custom model docs, that would be super helpful! -- Karen -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
