LazyDate better return date than datetime

[wangbin@…]

We have model has a DateField called expire_date which set default to LazyDate(days=60), it works well in firefox, but under safari and IE it shows error when we save that object, because LazyDate.get_value method return datetime object, wich make the validation fails, I think it is better to return date object, which will be useful both to DateField and DateTimeField.

(In [3566]) Fixed #2513 -- Changed LazyDate.get_value() to return date objects, not datetime objects

Hm, for DateTimeField with default it sets time to 00:00 requiring users to manually set time everytime. Maybe add another class LazyDateTime ?

[Alex Dedul]

Or even better revert LazyDate and fix the validation where needed ?

LazyDate is eventually going away, in favor of callable arguments, so I'm marking this as wontfix.

Old:

default=LazyDate().

New:

default=datetime.date.today

Old:

default=LazyDate(days=1)

New:

default=lambda: datetime.date.today() + datetime.timedelta(days=1)
