Gotta say - a week into this project - I am loving Django.
Wrote a small custom filter:
@register.filter ("fromdatetuple")
def fromdatetuple(value):
return datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(time.mktime(value))
fromdatetuple.is_safe = True
And added this to the template:
{{ entry.date_parsed|fromdatetuple|timesince }} ago
And it returns:
"1 day, 22 hours ago"
