Description
The DateField is starting with an incorrect value when using default=datetime.datetime.now in the admin.
Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.
When you provide a callable for the default, the result of calling that function/method/object is used as the default value. It's up to you to provide a callable that returns a value of the right type. In this case,
datetime.date.todaywould be an appropriate callable for a DateField. Usingdatetime.datetime.nowreturns a date and time, which isn't appropriate for that type of field.
