You dont pass in a string date, you pass in a parsed time struct.

Use

import time
article.date = time.strftime(...)

EDIT: And IIRC to change the actual displayed date, you set formatted_date, not date (date is used internally to expire old articles and so on). And formatted date accepts a unicode string.
