Hi,
I'm a newbie and I want to change the Django SelectDateWidget to
SelectMonthDayWidget because I can't use the year in my application. I had been
getting another error (which I don't recall right now) on the statement that
started 'html['month']' so, I decided to convert it to command line to get a
better picture of what's going on.
Unfotunately, now I get:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "SelectMDWidget.py", line 34, in
class SelectMonthDayWidget(month,day_ok):
TypeError: Error when calling the metaclass bases
unicode() argument 2 must be string, not tuple
What am I doing wrong? I'm passing the class two strings...
