Django snippets: Template-Filter for Feedparser-Dates

Template-Filter for Feedparser-Dates

from django.template import Library
import datetime 

register = Library()

def feedparsed(value):
    return datetime.datetime(*value[:6])

register.filter(feedparsed)

A filter that changes a preparsed date from Ultimate Feedparser to a regular datetime instance.

Now you can -for example- pass a feed parsed by feedparser to a template and do this:

{% for item in feed.entries %}
   Title: {{ item.title }}<br />
   Date: {{ item.updated_parsed|feedparsed|date:"Y-m-d" }}
{% endfor %}
