According to the docs at http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/models/fields/#datefield, foo.df should be a datetime.date object, not datetime.datetime:
{{{
In [7]: foo.df
Out[7]: datetime.datetime(2010, 11, 5, 10, 13, 3, 744903)

In [8]: foo.dtf
Out[8]: datetime.datetime(2010, 11, 5, 10, 13, 3, 745076)

In [9]: foo.tf
Out[9]: datetime.time(10, 13, 3, 745130)
