djangodatepick 0.1.2

Django-datepick is a Django app to add a date, time and datetime pickers to
your forms.

Install
Install the app with pip install django-datepick.

Usage with forms
Change the widget used in your forms.py to use the widgets included in this app:
from django import forms
from datepick import widgets

class MyForm(forms.Form):
date_field = forms.DateField(widget=widgets.DateInput)
datetime_field = forms.DateTimeField(widget=widgets.DateTimeInput)
time_field = forms.TimeField(widget=widgets.TimeInput)

Usage with models
Change the field used in your models.py to use the fields from this app:
from django.db import models
from datepick import fields

class MyDateModel(models.Model):
d = fields.DateField()
dt = fields.DateTimeField()
t = fields.TimeField()

Override the admin widget
Same as with any widget, register the model overriding the widget(s) in
admin.py:
from datepick.widgets import DateInput, SplitDateTimeWidget, TimeInput

class MyDateModelAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
formfield_overrides = {
models.DateField: {"widget": DateInput},
# DON'T models.DateTimeField: {"widget": DateTimeInput}
models.DateTimeField: {"widget": SplitDateTimeWidget}
models.TimeField: {"widget": TimeInput},
}
DateTimeInput doesn’t work in the admin, as it expects a multivalue field.

Why?
Each time you use a date field in Django, the form is a text input. Any
frontend would like a datepicker of somekind. Turns out browsers and cellphones
already have a datepicker. It looks like this in a browser:

And looks like this in a cellphone:

It doesn’t need Javascript or extra CSS.
