Comment (by julen):
As kmike mentioned above, customizing the form field with an
`input_formats` containing the timezone marker `%z` doesn't help — at
least on Python 2.7. For anyone hitting this, I worked around it by using
a custom form field and overriding the `strptime` method:
{{{
from django.utils.dateparse import parse_datetime
from django.utils.encoding import force_str
class ISODateTimeField(forms.DateTimeField):
def strptime(self, value, format):
return parse_datetime(force_str(value))
}}}
I use Django's own `parse_datetime` utility. Note this is limited to ISO
datetimes, and effectively any `input_formats` are omitted.
