I need help using SQLObject. I am trying to override a column attribute
without actually sending an argument.
Is there a way I can get a time stamp functionality out of my date time
column default?
...
from mx.DateTime import *
class table(SQLObject):
timestamp = DateTimeCol(default=now())
...
The problem I am having is that the stamp fills in at the time when the
object was initialized, not when a new row is added. This is the
expected behavior.
I was thinking the fix was adding something like:
...
def _set_timestamp(self):
return now()
...
but, I get: "_set_timestamp() takes exactly 1 argument (2 given)"
After removing the default, I also tried:
...
def _set_timestamp(self):
self._SO_set_timestamp(now())
...
but, I get: "did not get expected keyword argument 'timestamp'"
I see in the manual where I can pass a value to these and then do
something with this value. However, I would much rather not pass
anything and get a time stamp in each row, once when created and maybe
in a separate field once when updated. Any help, much appreciated.
