Remove the parentheses, so that it's "default=datetime.now". The important thing here is to understand the difference between passing the *return value* of a function to be a default, and between passing *the function itself* to be a default. What you want is to pass the function as the default, because Django will recognize a function object and call it repeatedly as needed to get values. But what you're doing, by using the parentheses, is calling "datetime.now()" at the time the model class is defined, and passing its return value at that single moment to be the default. -- "Bureaucrat Conrad, you are technically correct -- the best kind of correct." --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
