[web2py] REF: Finding if a date is between two date fields

2014-02-05 Thread Teddy Nyambe 
I would like to find out how to achieve this comparison:

row = db(db.mytable.start_date  today  db.mytable.end_date).select()

I am getting this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File
/Users/teddyl/PycharmProjects/website/web2py/gluon/contrib/shell.py, line
234, in run
exec compiled in statement_module.__dict__
  File string, line 1, in module
TypeError: can't compare datetime.date to Field

But if I try:

row = db(db.mytable.start_date == today).select()

This comparison works, is there another way of doing it?

Try

query = db.mytable.start_date  today  db.mytable.end_date  today
row = db(query).select()

This works for me:

surveylist = [(x.id, x.name) for x in db(
(db.survey.startdate = today)
(db.survey.enddate = today)).select(db.survey.id,
 db.survey.name)]
