How do I pull the year? Do I need to state "year" = 2012?

filters.py 
import datetime

dates = [
    datetime.datetime(2012, 12, 15),
    datetime.datetime(1987, 8, 20),
    datetime.datetime(1965, 2, 28),
    datetime.datetime(2015, 4, 29),
    datetime.datetime(2012, 6, 30),
]

def is_2012(arg):
    return dates.arg = 2012

The argument will be a datetime object that has a year attribute:

 is_2012(arg):
    return arg.year == 2012
