Well, note that the now() was executed when python first saw it, which
was just a bit after it first saw the class definition. Think about it -
it does make sense.
But django allows initial on a form field to be a callable that will be
called for a value at display time, so if that's suitable, you can do:
class DateTest(forms.Form):
in_date=forms.DateTimeField(initial=datetime.now )
# note absence of () on 'now' as you want to pass in now itself,
# not call it.
This is covered in the docs, btw.
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.1/ref/forms/fields/#initial
(towards the end of that section)
Note deferring to display time with a callable is slightly different to
passing in a value at form construction time - another option is to pass
an initial dict of whatever you want at form construction time, if you
want it to be that (probably more relevant for cases other than
now/now()...)
f = DateTest(initial=dict(in_date=datetime.now()))
(callables also work there too)
