Yes, I worked at it a little and it occures to me, that what I really need are
new types of Field
The situation is, that in the database are stored INTEGERs, but meaning of
this values is SECONDS.
So the underlaiyng integers should be presented on output/input as time, but
stored numerically.
There are 3 kinds of them:
LongTimeField ... 1673:30:00 hour was spend by our 10 operators on your
project last month (well, each was working around 8 hours/working day), so we
charge you with 10$/hour, totally 16.735,--
UptimeField ... 785 d 10:30:15 is the uptime of this server (last restarted
more than 2 years ago)
TimestampField ... it happend at 2007-03-28 14:50:15 (but it is stored as Unix
time - seconds from Epoch)
The UptimeField is most close to timesince filter, but in reality it is
incompatible too, not mentioning the problems with input ....
I will face such data more often now, so I will try to make such xxxxField by
myself and somehow incorporate it to Djando model .... If I do it well, I
will contribute it back ;-)
Is there a way how to extend it externally, or I have to
hack /django/db/models/fields/__init__.py directly ?
