python - Django datefield filter by weekday/weekend

Question

I've got a date_created field in my database:

date_created = models.DateField(auto_now_add=True)

Is there some way I could filter date_created by weekend/weekday? I know that python's date.weekday() returns 0 - 6 depending on days of the week, so I'd like to use something like:

apps.objects.filter(date_created__weekday >=5) // filter by weekend

Answer 1

Django comes with a weekday field lookup.
