A custom widget would be the correct approach. In fact, the widget has
already been written - it is in the newforms-admin branch in
django.contrib.admin.widgets as AdminDateWidget and AdminTimeWidget.
These admin widgets won't be directly usable in a trunk-based project
- they make use of Media defintions, which have been added in the
newforms-admin branch. However, you should be able to use them to give
you ideas on how a custom date widget should be written.
