I have the following to model a calendar entry (recurring event). I need 
the ability to retrieve all events from the database between a start and 
end date. This has to include one off events and also recurring "virtual" 
events that occur because of an event in the database. Do you think this is 
possible using Django queries? Or do I need to retrieve the objects from 
the DB and then calculate the recurring events in the range in plain python 
using something like dateutil? I've been racking my brains but I can't seem 
to work out how to do it. Any suggestions appreciated.

class CalendarEntry(models.Model):

    REPEAT_CHOICES = (
        ('NONE',    _('None')),
        ('DAILY',    _('Daily')),
        ('WEEKDAY',  _('Every weekday')),
        ('WEEKLY',   _('Weekly')),
        ('BIWEEKLY', _('Fortnightly')),
        ('MONTHLY',  _('Monthly')),
        ('YEARLY',   _('Yearly')),
    )

    # Mappings between content and an event entry.
    content_type    = models.ForeignKey(ContentType, verbose_name='content 
type')
    object_id       = models.PositiveIntegerField()
    content_object  = generic.GenericForeignKey('content_type', 'object_id')
    field           = models.CharField(max_length=64)

    # Basic event information.
    start_date = TimestampGMT(blank=True, null=True)
    end_date = TimestampGMT(blank=True, null=True)

    # Recurrence information.
    all_day = models.BooleanField()
    repeat = models.CharField(max_length=15, choices=REPEAT_CHOICES, 
default='NEVER')
    end_repeat = models.DateTimeField(_("end repeat"), null=True, 
blank=True)
