Thank you for your email. This is not a bug in Django, it is the correct output when you set DATE_FORMAT = "%m/%d/%Y". Your desired output will come if you set DATE_FORMAT = 'm/d/Y'.
The documentation [1] may not be too clear on what formatting is required, but does give an example which hints at leaving the % signs out. What might be confusing for some is that the documentation for DATE_INPUT_FORMATS directly below it, shows an example with lots of % sign formats. It also seems that the reference to "allowed date format strings" isn't a working link, is that a bug in the documentation? Cheers, Will [1] http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/settings/#date-format -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
