Might this work?

class myClass(object):
   __init__(self, added_date=None):
         if added_date:
             self.date_attribute = added_date
         else:
             self.date_attribute = my_way_of_calculating_added_date()

You can then instantiate in either of these ways:

my_instance = myClass()

or

my_instance = myClass(my_way_of_calculating_added_date())
