Template filter to format a start and end time in to a range. Uses Django's "P" format and assumes start and end time are on the same day or night before/morning after.

{{ start_time|time_range:end_time }}

Examples:

7-8 p.m.

8 p.m. - midnight

noon - 4 p.m.

9:45 a.m. - 5:15 p.m.

10:30 p.m. - 1:30 a.m.

    if (start_time.hour < 12 and end_time.hour >= 12) \
       or (end_time.hour < 12 and start_time.hour >= 12):
        return u'%s - %s' % (time_format(start_time, 'P'), time_format(end_time, 'P'))
