This one took me a while to figure it out: im declaring a model as: date_format = "%Y-%m-%d"
db.define_table("bookings" , Field("start_date", "datetime") , Field("end_date", "date", requires = IS_DATE(format=date_format)) , Field("agency", "reference agencies", format="{agency}") , Field("name", "string", length=10) , Field("people", "integer", default=0) , Field("rooms", "integer", default=0) , Field("price", "double", default=0.0) ) def TextWidget(field, value): return INPUT(_value = value, requires=field.requires, _name=field.name, _class="form-control input-sm") db.bookings.name.widget = TextWidget db.bookings.end_date.widget = TextWidget And a text widget to output the fields: On my view i get the right iso representation but when i submit the form i get this error: My browser locale was set Spanish (es-ES). The IS_DATE validator outputs the declared date format but tries to validate with a translated one which is really weird way to process a form. Also the translation of Year to "Año" is not something python would recognize. At the default es.py we can find: Which is contributing to this error. So the IS_DATE is doing something different to what was been told which is to use the specified format regardless the accepted language. The validators should not be translating anything unless they are told to. It would be more versatile to pass the translated format to the validator instead of doing this behind the scenes. Something like IS_DATE(format=T(my_date_format)) validators.py, line 2235 IS_DATE def __init__(self, format='%Y-%m-%d', error_message='Enter date as %(format)s'): self.format = translate(format) For now ill modify the validators not to translate, but without patching this, either you have to delete the related Spanish entries or maybe set them the same as the English ones.
