Description

Now that we've added the __date (#9596) lookup I think we should allow the same for the time part.

A good usage example would be:

Event.objects.filter(
    datetime__time__range=(start_time, end_time),
)

To select all activities that occurred in a timezone aware time range.

Here's an implementation for PostgreSQL and MySQL missing tests:

from django.conf import settings
from django.db import models
from django.utils import timezone
from django.utils.functional import cached_property


class DateTimeTimeTransform(models.Transform):
    lookup_name = 'time'

    @cached_property
    def output_field(self):
        return models.TimeField()

    def as_mysql(self, compiler, connection):
        lhs, lhs_params = compiler.compile(self.lhs)
        if settings.USE_TZ:
            lhs = "CONVERT_TZ(%s, 'UTC', %%s)" % lhs
            tzname = timezone.get_current_timezone_name()
            lhs_params.append(tzname)
        sql = "TIME(%s)" % lhs
        return sql, lhs_params

    def as_postgresql(self, compiler, connection):
        lhs, lhs_params = compiler.compile(self.lhs)
        if settings.USE_TZ:
            lhs = "%s AT TIME ZONE %%s" % lhs
            tzname = timezone.get_current_timezone_name()
            lhs_params.append(tzname)
        sql = "(%s)::time" % lhs
        return sql, lhs_params

models.DateTimeField.register_lookup(DateTimeTimeTransform)

We should wait for the datetime expression refactor (#25774) to land before proceeding with this patch.
