Thanks everybody.
I changed this :
birth_date = forms.DateField(('%d/%m/%Y',), label='Birth Date',
required=False ),
for this :
birth_date = forms.DateField(('%d/%m/%Y',), label='Birth Date',
required=False, widget=forms.DateInput(format='%d/%m/%Y') )
And it all works very good.
But there's something else fishy here.
If i tried this:
birth_date = forms.DateField(label='Birth Date', required=False,
widget=forms.DateInput(format='%d/%m/%Y') )
Then it did not save in correct format again. But guess in which
format did it save?
%m/%d/%Y
Why the hell though? could this be a minor bug in django code?
