If all this indentation is correct (and the email has screwed things up pretty badly here, so you might want to use dpaste next time -- and switch to spaces instead of tabs for your Python code, which is pretty normal), then this line is going to be a problem. It's evaluated once, when the file is imported. If the file isn't imported again (which would happen if the server didn't restart), the value won't change just because the date did. You'd be better off doing that computation each time you need it (once per function). It's hardly a huge timesink to do the computation.
