date = "%s-%s-%s" % (year, month, i) is exactly what i'd like to do.
The Table object will just be a mysql table, and the filter function will yield a list filtered for those dates. For my purposes the limit variable will not be static, depending on which day of the month it is i will only want it to iterate up to that date in the month (i use 31 here as an example as i would want it to iterate through the 30th of september).
