Besides the fact that you're being utterly unproductive with your combative attitude here, you *do* realize Malcolm is Australian, right? Furthermore, you're trying to "shame" a project that has a stellar internationalization track record. Trust me -- these guys "get it".

Did you miss the point, stated several times, that all of this has *nothing* to do with the internal representation of the date/time? Changing the format will have *nothing* to do with how your server stores the time. "YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS" is just as much a *human* convention as any other textual date/time format; the database *does not* store the date like that. :: sighs and goes back to doing more productive things :: --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers" group.
