title: DateFormat in Django and App Engine?
body: <p>I have a slight issue with dates in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Django_(web_framework)" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Django</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_App_Engine" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Google App Engine</a>:</p>
  
  <p>I have the following class because I want date input in the form of DD/MM/YY:</p>
  
  <pre><code>class MyForm(ModelForm): 
        mydate = forms.DateTimeField(input_formats=['%d-%m-%y', '%d/%m/%y']) 
        class Meta: 
            model = MyObject 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This works for entering into the datastore. 
  However when I use a generic view to edit the data the form comes back in the format of YYYY-MM-DD. Any ideas on how to change that?</p>
