Question

This code:

import datetime
d_tomorrow = datetime.date.today() + datetime.timedelta(days=1)

class Model(models.Model):
    ...
    timeout = models.DateTimeField(null=True, blank=True, default=d_tomorrow)
    ...

resuls in this error:

'datetime.date' object has no attribute 'date'

What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

Problem solved:

from datetime import datetime, time, date, timedelta
def tomorrow():
    d = date.today() + timedelta(days=1)
    t = time(0, 0)
    return datetime.combine(d, t)

models.DateTimeField expects the value to be datetime.datetime, not datetime.date

2015 Update:

Arrow makes this all much more straight forward.

Arrow is a Python library that offers a sensible, human-friendly approach to creating, manipulating, formatting and converting dates, times, and timestamps. It implements and updates the datetime type, plugging gaps in functionality, and provides an intelligent module API that supports many common creation scenarios. Simply put, it helps you work with dates and times with fewer imports and a lot less code.

Arrow is heavily inspired by moment.js and requests.
