Comment (by [EMAIL PROTECTED]):
Note that these widgets take a Django style format string like 'N j, Y'
versus Python strftime() style like '%b %d, %Y'.
It means you could have a field definition with two different styles of
date format strings like:
{{{
#!python
class MyForm(forms.Form):
start_date = forms.DateField(widget=DateTextInput(format='d/m/y'),
input_formats=('%d/%m/%y',))
}}}
However, I think it makes sense to use Django format strings for output
since it is used elsewhere in the UI and is perhaps more powerful.
DateField uses strftime() patterns for input, but it is parsing using
strptime() so that's the natural format.
