The Python time module can be used to provide the current date and time. For a human-readable date and time, you can use the following script, which generates the current date and stores it in a string field:

import time

value = time.strftime("%Y%m%d%H%M%S")

Visit the Python website for more information on the format arguments for the strftime() function.

	Be very careful with your format argument. If you put in an invalid string, the results can be unpredictable.
