 if model contains DateField and it is initialized with current date

 example:

 from datetime import date

 class TestClass(models.Model):

     start_date = models.DateField(
         verbose_name=u'start date',
         default=date.today,
         )

 pypy migrations will fail

 django/db/migrations/writer.py", line 540, in serialize
     "topics/migrations/#migration-serializing" % (value,
 get_docs_version())
 ValueError: Cannot serialize: <bound method type.today of <class
 'datetime.date'>>

 reason:
 code for serialising methods in Django checks
 `if isinstance(value, (types.FunctionType, types.BuiltinFunctionType))`
 which succeeds on cpython because datetime.date.today is a
 BuiltinFunctionType, wheras it's a types.MethodType on pypy and this check
 is missing in django

 )

 a solution for client code is to declare local function

 def today():
     return date.today()

 but would be better to add types.MethodType check for pypy compatibility
 class TestClass(models.Model):

     start_date = models.DateField(
         verbose_name=u'start date',
         default=today,
         )
