Bug with functional default and migrations

[arveitch]

I've found a bug on all of 1.7; I've tested up to 1.7.3. The code works fine on 1.6 with syncdb. I think this is a reasonably common design pattern.

Here's the models.py:

import random
from django.db import models

def generateCode(prefix=''):
    while True:
        code = ''.join(
            # Omit I, O, 1 and 0 as they can cause confusion
           random.choice('ABCDEFGHJKLMNPQRSTUVWXYZ23456789')
           for i in range(7)
        )
        code = prefix + code
        if not PromotionalCode.objects.filter(code=code).exists():
            break
    return code


class PromotionalCode(models.Model):
    code = models.CharField(
        default=generateCode, db_index=True, max_length=12, unique=True
    )
    value_amount = models.DecimalField(
        default=0, max_digits=7, decimal_places=2
    )

./manage.py migrate gives this traceback:

django.db.utils.OperationalError: no such table: example_promotionalcode

If I comment out the PromotionalCode.objects.filter(code=code).exists() test then it works fine on 1.7
