This previous line will fail. range() takes numbers, not strings.
Change 'limit' to an int.

I believe you're looking for the string formatting syntax, to wit:

temp = Table.objects.filter(  date="%s-%s-%s" % (year, month, i)  )

Note that you can let 'year' and 'month' be integers now, as they will
be converted to strings for you automatically.

Cheers,
Chris
