Counts of events grouped by date in python?
- by Sologoub
This is no doubt another noobish question, but I'll ask it anyways:
I have a data set of events with exact datetime in UTC. I'd like to create a line chart showing total number of events by day (date) in the specified date range. Right now I can retrieve the total data set for the needed date range, but then I need to go through it and count up for each date.
The app is running on google app engine and is using python.
What is the best way to create a new data set showing date and corresponding counts (including if there were no events on that date) that I can then use to pass this info to a django template?
Data set for this example looks like this:
class Event(db.Model):
event_name = db.StringProperty()
doe = db.DateTimeProperty()
dlu = db.DateTimeProperty()
user = db.UserProperty()
Ideally, I want something with date and count for that date.
Thanks and please let me know if something else is needed to answer this question!
