Hello,

I am completely new to Web2Py (please bear with me) and have the following 
problem:

I am trying to define a database and have the current year as a field which 
should be automatically filled in using datetime. 

But when I try to open the database and look at the entries I get a 
traceback which I do not understand (see below). 


Edit: I think it has to do something with strftime having only one 
argument. When I am using strftime("%Y%m%d") it is working perfectly. But I 
really only need the current year.


Thank you

**Code**

import datetime

           db.define_table('orders',            
                        Field("current_year", "string",Label=T('Current 
Year'), rdefault=datetime.datetime.now().strftime("%Y"),eadable=True, 
writable=False))



**Code using IS_DATETIME**

After reading the web2py documentation I also tried this: 

Field('current_year', 'string', label=T('Current Year'), 
default=IS_DATETIME(format=T('%Y')),readable=True, writable=False))


But I get the same traceback (see below)

Thanks, any help would be appreciated
