Hello,

I am new to OpenERP development and I am trying to learn how to assign functions to fields so I can retrieve values based on my needs, but after following the manual or taking a look at the code from another modules I can't seem to get it right.

I tried a really simple function to retrieve the current time into a field. Here is the code to my function

def get_text(self, cr, uid, ids, fields, arg, context):
    #records = self.browse(cr, uid, ids)
    #sale = 'Some Text'
    dd = datetime.now()
    return dd

And this is how I call the get_text function

'varText': fields.function(get_text, obj='sim.student', method=True, store=False, type='string', string='Text')

Whatever I try in my get_text function I always get an error like the following:

AttributeError: 'datetime.datetime' object has no attribute 'get'

If I comment the line starting with dd and uncomment the line starting with sale the error would be

AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'get'

If anyone can give me a tip on what I am doing wrong I will really appreciate it!

Thanks!
