how can I get month from date in django models

Question

I want to make a query and return only the month of the year of the date field from my models then compare the return result to the current month of the year.

    current_date = datetime.date.today()
    _history = PayrollModel.objects.filter(employee_id_id=employee_id)
    if(_history == None or _history.count() == 0):
        return True
    if(_history != None and _history.count() != 0):
        # entity = _history.get(month_year=current_date)
        for history in _history:
            print(history.employee_id_id)
            if(history.month_year__month != current_date.month and history.month_year.year == current_date.year):
                return True
    else:
        return False

Filtering by month is a built-in queryset feature. You don't show your History model, so I am writing as if the relevant date stamp field is called xdate (date might read confusingly)

So you need to further filter:

today = datetime.date.today()
current_year = today.year
current_month = today.month
_history = _history.filter( xdate__year = current_year, xdate__month = current_month)
for history in _history:
