Doh! I didn't even think about the built-in methods being available in
templates.

Thanks!

You could use the built-in __str__ method on now.year.
In [11]: now.year.__str__()
Out[11]: '2009'

In [12]: now.year.__str__() == '2009'
Out[12]: True

In your template you'd do something like this:
{% ifequal year month.year.__str__ %}

ifequal and DateQuerySet objects

[Bret W]

I've run into a problem with ifequal in one of my templates.

I'm using date-based generic view to display all objects for a given
year.
urls.py:
(r'^taken/(?P\d{4})/$' ...

Part of the extra_context I pass is a DateQuerySet object:
months = Photo.objects.dates('date_taken', 'month', order='DESC')

In my template, I have the following:
{% for month in months %}
{% ifequal year month.year %}
...

It always evaluates to false.

I know this is because Python won't handle the casting:

>>> from datetime import datetime
>>> now = datetime.now()
>>> now.year == 2009
True
>>> now.year == "2009"
False
>>>

So, is it possible to handle this comparison in the template?
