DateField default value

[Rich Shepard]

Reading the doc for DateField() I tried to set the default as today's
date, but 'default=date.today' is not accepted.

If there is a way to set today's data as the default for a DateField()
please point me to the doc for it.

Thanks,

Rich

What do you mean by "not accepted"? Is there some error message? What you wrote should work as far as I know.

from datetime import date

pub_date = models.DateField(default=date.today)

Tim,

Yes, there was an error message that was not saved.

That's probably the cause: my missing that import in the tutorial.

Thanks!
