Django escape date formatting

Question

I have a TIME field in mysql that I want to display exactly as it is in my django template.

However, when I use the value, django interprets it as a date object.

{{ start_time }}

12:01 a.m. // should be 00:01:02

How do I get django to interpret this value correctly as 00:01:02?

Seems a bit hackish, but you need to use the time filter and format it manually:

{{ qc_note.start_time|time:"H:i:s" }}
