For the past couple years, I've switched back and forth between TextMate and VIM as my primary editor. Lately, I've been on a huge TextMate kick and decided to see what all I could do to customize it. Python, being my primary language, is what I wanted to write my scripts in. However, most of the TextMate bundles are written in Ruby (a language I don't at all understand -- it looks crazy to me). After much digging around in the source of some of these bundles and pecking through Ruby to see how it's interacting with TextMate, I was able come up with a little script.

On several occasions, I (and the templaters on my team) have needed a way to do datetime comparisons from within a template. The first example is testing if the pub_date on an object is today. Usually, I just end up writing a helper method on the model to do this; something like is_today. However, we've run into several instances where this wasn't possible or it would have just been too much of a mess to write these helper methods on every model. I then decided to create a little templatetag to take care of this for me.
