Datetime date.today Requiring a Restart

Question

On our Windows Server Odoo instance I use date.today() to set the default of the date to, well, today. However, this morning we realized that the date was off, but the date of the server was correct. I restarted the server and the date in Windows did NOT change, however, the Odoo module default date did. What gives?
The line of code is as follow (no errors though)
'order_date': fields.date(string='Date', default=date.today())

Andre de Kock · Answer

The solution is to not call the function:
my_field = fields.Date(default=fields.Date.today)

John Doe · Answer

date.today() returns a value, so the python interpreter thinks that you want set a constant to default value.
Use lambda function to avoid this:
default =  lambda self: fields.Date.today()

Even on a linux machine this happens. Maybe it's the version I am using, but updating the custom app date.today() requires a restart everytime.
