🐛 Bug Report: Can't filter by DateTime

[mahyess]

👟 Reproduction steps

To get the list of documents, filtered by datetime an intuitive method would be something like this:

# get datetime before an hour
hour_ago = datetime.now()-timedelta(hours=1)

databases = Databases(client)
doclist = await databases.list_documents(
    "databaseID",  # database_id
    "collectionID",  # collection_id
    [
        # queries
        Query.greaterThan("$updatedAt", hour_ago),
    ]);

But this results in an empty list. The issue I found was its because of how the value of datetime is parsed. The datetime is simply set str(datetime) to query, but the resulting string is invalid for filtering the documents.

Workaround

The way I solved this is by using the query string by myself.

# get datetime before an hour
hour_ago = datetime.utcnow()-timedelta(hours=1).  # requires utc datetime

databases = Databases(client)
doclist = await databases.list_documents(
    "databaseID",
    "collectionID",
    [
        f'greaterThan("$updatedAt", ["{hour_ago.isoformat()}"])',
    ]);

👍 Expected behavior

It should result in a list with appropriately filtered documents, but it doesn't.

👎 Actual Behavior

It either results in all of the documents or none at all depending on the filter greaterThan or lessThan used.
