Didn't you hear about auto_now=True? Take a look
http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/model-api/#datefield

Hello!
auto_now Automatically set the field to now every time the object is saved. Useful for “last-modified” timestamps. Note that the current date is always used; it’s not just a default value that you can override.
First of all, this field is a form field, not a model field. Also my field DOES NOT set automatically current date. The field behaves like this:
For example, today is 1st January 2008. If user enters '2008-01-01 15:05' it behaves like regular DateTimeField. What if i enter just '15:05'? Regular DateTimeField would return '1900-01-01 15:05', while TodayDateTimeField returns '2008-01-01 15:05'.
If somebody could suggest a better description for this snippet?
