At the top of your file, did you do `from datetime import datetime` or
just `import datetime`? I expect it's the former.
Also:
* You probably want to use `datetime.date.today()`, not
`datetime.datetime.now()` given your field is a DateField, not a
DateTimeField.
* I'd use the test "<" (or "<=") instead of ">" ("the deadline is before today")
* You can give the result of that test directly to your variable:
admit.deadline_passed = admit.deadline < date.today()
* Finally, deadline_passed has no reason to be stored in the DB (unless it's a
perf
bottleneck, but I highly doubt that one), why store it in a field?
