Comment (by julien):
That's a good question. One way would be to purposely trigger exceptions
while the module is loaded to gather all the various error messages from
`datetime.datetime()`, but that feels dirty... This is also dangerous as
there's no guarantee that the messages will be the same on every version
of Python.
The most complete way would be for Django to do the same tests as
`datetime.datetime()` and then provide its own messages. However, this
wouldn't be very robust and would be annoying to maintain.
Perhaps the safest way is to simply not give any granular error message
and just say that it's an invalid date, as suggested in the new patch
attached.
