Get the date in days hours and minute since in django template
django, python
Solution
You can user `naturaltime`, here is the Django documentation. A short example:
{% load humanize %}
{{ datimeobject|naturaltime }}
It will display something like `29 seconds ago` or `1 week, 2 days from now`.
Note that you need to load humanize
