django-chartit, DateTime as xAxis

django-chartit example

    @staticmethod
    def getJobStatChart(title, currentTime):
        statistics =\
        DataPool(
            series=
            [{'options': {
                'source': PBSServer.objects.order_by('-time')[:20] },
                'terms': [
                  ('time', lambda d: time.mktime(d.timetuple())),
                  'running_jobs',
                  'queued_jobs',
                  'total_jobs']}
            ])

        #Step 2: Create the Chart object
        chart = Chart(
            datasource=statistics,
            series_options=
            [{'options': {
                'type': 'line',

              'terms': {
                  'time': [
                      'running_jobs',
                      'queued_jobs',

                     'title': {
                         'text': 'Time'}}},
            x_sortf_mapf_mts=(None, lambda i: datetime.fromtimestamp(i).strftime("%H:%M"), False))

        return chart

smart solution, thanks

For those who like me find this out of context, note that you have to modify the chartit python code as shown here: bastir85/django-chartit@aa47dc1

thanks @ofraam. Coulnd't make it without your comment

Thanks @ofraam and @rauch! I had to write a patch to add this functionality.. Does anybody knows why this is not committed to Chartit? Perhaps it's a stupid question because I'm a newbie concerning Django and Python.

Seems the patch code from @ofraam has been integrated at least into the django-chartit2-0.2.2.
