Optparse: Usage on variable arg callback action does not indicate that extra params are needed

<p>Once a FILE * has seen an error or eof, it has its internal status set so that it continues to return error or eof on subsequent calls. You need to call <code>clearerr(f);</code> after the sleep returns to clear the eof setting and get it to try to read more data from the file.</p>

<p>Maybe the server is evaluating the datetime.now() at server start, try making it lazy through a template or use a variable in your view.</p> <p>Take a look at this <a href="http://paltman.com/2008/may/07/a-default-bug-in-django/" rel="nofollow">blog post</a>.</p>

<p>datetime.now() is probably being evaluated once, when your class is instantiated. Try removing the parenthesis so that the function datetime.now is returned and THEN evaluated.
