Hi,

Does anyone know how to retrieve the current day/ today's date in python? I am would like to set the default expiration date in my form to today's date (or several days from now).

Thanks in advance.

You could use the functions in the time module to manipulate times and dates.
A simple example for retrieving the current date and time:

>>> import time
>>> print time.localtime()
(2008, 10, 27, 17, 49, 58, 0, 301, 0)
#The current date is the first three elements in the tuple
