#23049: Admin DateField doesn't support all DATE_INPUT_FORMATS

According to the documentation formats listed at
[http://docs.python.org/library/datetime.html#strftime-strptime-behavior]
are supported as DATE_INPUT_FORMATS. I have started using the date format
"Thu 17 Jul 2014" represented by '%a %d %b %Y' as my DATE_FORMAT and the
first listed DATE_INPUT_FORMAT but I am having issues on admin pages. The
date picker calendar popups don't work correctly.
On initial page load the date is formatted correctly. When selecting the
17th of July 2014 from the calendar instead of getting "Thu 17 Jul 2014"
the field is populated with "undefined 17 undefined 2014".
Looking at the code in admin/static/js/core.js these are the supported
format characters...
{{{
c: this.toString(),
d: this.getTwoDigitDate(),
H: this.getTwoDigitHour(),
I: this.getTwoDigitTwelveHour(),
m: this.getTwoDigitMonth(),
M: this.getTwoDigitMinute(),
p: (this.getHours() >= 12) ? 'PM' : 'AM',
S: this.getTwoDigitSecond(),
w: '0' + this.getDay(),
x: this.toLocaleDateString(),
X: this.toLocaleTimeString(),
y: ('' + this.getFullYear()).substr(2, 4),
Y: '' + this.getFullYear(),
'%' : '%'
}}}
I think an "almost core" part of Django like admin should support what is
documented or the documentation should be updated to reflect the actual
behaviour.
I'm writing a simple fix for my own use. Although I'd be happy to start
working on a real fix but don't want to waste time if this won't be
considered.
