Re: Django: How to get American date format in a form?

Thanks Melvyn for the example.

Interesting you get the same problem with American date output as I. So
its on purpose to pick the first available input-format from formats.py.
Which is very odd if you ask me. I was expecting this to be culture
specific too.

Ok, let see how we can fix this. Thanks for the link, yes I could
override DATETIME_INPUT_FORMATS within a custom-formats.py

mysite/
formats/
__init__.py
en/
__init__.py
formats.py


But looking at this example, 'en/' is not good enough. British English
is also `en` but the date format is European. You know what I mean?
Again the culture seems to be forgotten :(
Unless I could define the path as en-GB/ and it would still be
recognized....
