Comment:
The tutorial code is correct. Try it in a Python shell:
{{{
#!python
>>> import datetime
>>> datetime.date.today()
datetime.date(2010, 8, 3)
}}}
The proposed change does not work:
{{{
#!python
>>> import datetime
>>> datetime.today().date()
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'today'
>>>
}}}
Using the `today()` constructor of the `datetime.datetime` class instead
of trying it on the `datetime` module (yes, this is a bit confusing in
Python) would work:
{{{
#!python
>>> import datetime
>>> datetime.datetime.today().date()
datetime.date(2010, 8, 3)
>>>
}}}
But the existing code is simpler and works, so is preferable.
