I have the below db model:
from datetime import datetime
class TermPayment(models.Model):
# I have excluded fields that are irrelevant to the question
date = models.DateTimeField(default=datetime.now(), blank=True)
I add a new instance by using the below:
tp = TermPayment.objects.create(**kwargs)
My issue: all records in database have the same value in date field, which is the date of the first payment. After the server restarts, one record has the new date and the other records have the same as the first. It looks as if some data is cached, but I can't find where.
database: mysql 5.1.25
django v1.1.1
it looks like datetime.now() is being evaluated when the model is defined, and not each time you add a record.
Django has a feature to accomplish what you are trying to do already:
date = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True, blank=True)
or
date = models.DateTimeField(default=datetime.now, blank=True)
The difference between the second example and what you currently have is the lack of parentheses. By passing datetime.now without the parentheses, you are passing the actual function, which will be called each time a record is added. If you pass it datetime.now(), then you are just evaluating the function and passing it the return value.
