pandas filtering and comparing dates

I would do a mask like:

a = df[df['newest_date_available'] < date_before]

If date_before = datetime.date(2016, 1, 19), this returns:

        id  code newest_date_available
0  9793708  3514            2015-12-24
1  9792282  2399            2015-12-25
2  9797602  7452            2015-12-25
