Did you try date = models.DateTimeField(). This will show up in the admin tool as a calendar widget that you can use to select the date. Django takes care of converting the dates into Python objects and into whatever format your database needs for storing. You could also just use a DateField if you do not need the time. http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/models/fields/#datetimefield or http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/models/fields/#datefield
