default input_format not honoroed

[danols@…]

form.DateField() only accepts following formats:

'%Y-%m-%d', '%m/%d/%Y', '%m/%d/%y', # '2006-10-25', '10/25/2006', '10/25/06'

But fails to accept:

'%b %d %Y', '%b %d, %Y',            # 'Oct 25 2006', 'Oct 25, 2006'
'%d %b %Y', '%d %b, %Y',            # '25 Oct 2006', '25 Oct, 2006'
'%B %d %Y', '%B %d, %Y',            # 'October 25 2006', 'October 25, 2006'
'%d %B %Y', '%d %B, %Y',            # '25 October 2006', '25 October, 2006'

Documentations states all above should be accepted: ​http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/forms/fields/#datefield

Thanks

Hmm, indeed. Those other formats were specifically disabled in r13039, which added ​some doc about how those formats can't be used for localized dates, but we seem to have overlooked the fact they they were included in the defaults pre-localization-support. The ​settings doc also has it wrong right now.

#15135 was a duplicate.

https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/15135#comment:1, I believe, is a more accurate description than what I said above of the current situation. What both the datefield doc and the settings doc fail to mention is that what they are showing is the default for the USE_L10N=False case. Datefield doc perhaps should be nothing that the defaults (for the USE_L10N=False case) are the DATE_INPUT_FORMATS setting. In the USE_L10N=True case it's not feasible to try to state the defaults, because it varies by locale.

Also, #17532 reported this again.

[17554] clarified the documentation, which is the fix for this.
