[SOLVED] Finding today in restricted python

Is it possible to find (date time) today in restricted python?

I need to sort for future events in a themingfragment.

PS: Other suggestions are welcome (for example, can I get the items for /events/aggregator or similar

Pretty sure it works. Just import it and use it.

zopefoundation/DateTime/blob/master/src/DateTime/DateTime.py#L421


    module, provided that the value of the object falls in the
    range of the epoch-based time module, and as a datetime.datetime
    object.

    A DateTime object should be considered immutable; all conversion
    and numeric operations return a new DateTime object rather than
    modify the current object."""

# For security machinery:
__roles__ = None
__allow_access_to_unprotected_subobjects__ = 1

# Limit the amount of instance attributes
__slots__ = (
    '_timezone_naive',
    '_tz',
    '_dayoffset',
    '_year',
    '_month',
    '_day',
    '_hour',

Looks like you are right.

I have always used pythons data time to find today, but it looks like it can be found with (something like):

from DateTime import DateTime
today = DateTime()

And

def get_items(self):
    from DateTime import DateTime
    date_range = {
        'query': (
            DateTime(),
        ),
        'range': 'min',
    }

return  self.context.portal_catalog(portal_type='Event', end=date_range)

PS: I changed to 'end' instead of 'start' since it makes more sense to list it until it is finished.
