How to use django.contrib.humanize in a model

Question

I would like to use the django.contrib.humanize outside of a template, actually inside a model to humanize some dates in some text messages.

Is it possible? How can I do this?

Have you tried `import`ing them directly? What happened? – jonrsharpe Jun 22 '16 at 13:49 — jonrsharpe, Jun 22 '16 at 13:49

You can import the functions in the model:

from django.contrib.humanize.templatetags.humanize import naturalday
natural_day = naturalday(value)
