Removing seconds from locale formats

[Malte Beckmann]

As discussed on the Django-developers mailing list (Subject: Unifying locale time formats).

I propose the removal of seconds from standard time output formats.
Here it is: ​https://github.com/maltebeckmann/django/tree/ticket_23466

[Wim Feijen]

Hi, nice work!

Let's mention this change in the release notes! :)

under Internationalization:
"Removed seconds in locale time formats."
or something like that.

Can you do that please?

In addition, I was wondering whether we should unify G:i and H:i (hours with or without leading zeros). I'll ask on the mailing list.

Malte, could you please make a pull request from your branch?

@Claude
Created the pull request: ​https://github.com/django/django/pull/3218 (took me a bit, still new to this process).

@Wim
I also noticed a number of issues in regard to uniformity of times and dates. I am, however, wondering whether there is the odd locale in which time does require a leading zero. Either way, I think there are lots of inconsistencies that should be addressed. But I think this needs to be addressed in another ticket.

Thanks, the patch is fine. Now only a release note is missing.

[Malte Beckmann]

Cheers! The release note is not up to me though, is it?

[Claude Paroz]

Yes it is :-) See docs/releases/1.8.txt. A good Django patch has usually both tests and docs. In this specific case, tests are not so useful.
