Unclear documentation of default date/time fields values

[kip_parker]

It wasn't clear from the documentation that date/time fieldstake a python date object as a default. I assumed that:

start = models.TimeField(default='20:00')

would be OK, but I needed

import datetime
start = models.TimeField(default=datetime.datetime(2008, 1, 31, 20, 00, 00)

I'm not sure why you'd expect this to work -- would you also expect IntegerField(default="10") to work, too? There's nothing in the documentation that says that Django will let you be sloppy about types in this way, so I don't see how we could be clearer.
