Compatibility matrix

Django version	Python version	Supported back‑ends
3.2 LTS → 5.0	3.8 → 3.12	SQLite, PostgreSQL ≥ 12, MySQL ≥ 5.7 / MariaDB ≥ 10.4, Oracle ≥ 19c

Quick usage

from django.db.models import DateField
from django_lastdayofmonth import LastDayOfMonth

# annotate each invoice with the month‑end date of its `issued_date`
Invoice.objects.annotate(
    month_end=LastDayOfMonth("issued_date")
)

LastDayOfMonth works in annotate(), filter(), aggregate(), etc.

---

Why?

Calculating month‑end boundaries in Python causes heavy data transfer and breaks query optimisations. Leveraging the database engine keeps logic in SQL and stays performant.
