7546	Exact lookups on DateTimeField() with datetime.date object does not work	John-Scott Atlakson	nobody	"In http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/db-api/ there are several examples of passing in datetime.date() objects (notice it's not a datetime.datetime() object) as lookup parameters on a `DateTimeField()`. See http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/db-api/#spanning-multi-valued-relationships for one such example:
{{{
Blog.objects.filter(entry__headline__contains='Lennon',
        entry__pub_date=datetime.date.today())
}}}

The only way I've been able to get the intended behavior is through the use of the range lookup:
{{{
today = datetime.date(2008, 6, 26)
tomorrow = datetime.date(2005, 6, 27)
Blog.objects.filter(entry__headline__contains='Lennon', 
        entry__pub_date__range=(today, tomorrow))
}}}

I'm assuming this is just a documentation issue, rather than a query bug."		closed	Documentation	dev		fixed			Ready for checkin	1	0	0	0	0	0
