Italian locale SHORT_DATE_FORMAT

[Craig Blaszczyk]

Hi all,

I've noticed an inconsistency in the `it` locale formats.py file (django/conf/locale/it/formats.py) both in Django 1.3.1 and trunk.

The file contains:

SHORT_DATE_FORMAT = 'd/M/Y' # 25/12/2009
....

DATE_INPUT_FORMATS = (
    '%d/%m/%Y', '%Y/%m/%d',  # '25/10/2006', '2008/10/25'
    '%d-%m-%Y', '%Y-%m-%d',  # '25-10-2006', '2008-10-25'
    '%d-%m-%y', '%d/%m/%y',  # '25-10-06', '25/10/06'
)

1) The SHORT_DATE_FORMAT  format listed does not match the comment (note the 'M' in the format - this should be 'm' for a numerical month)

2) The listed SHORT_DATE_FORMAT is not one of the accepted DATE_INPUT_FORMATS

Point 1 could easily be a typo, but point 2 is a bit more serious. It means that if you use SHORT_DATE_FORMAT to format the default date in a form, then that default does not pass validation when the form is submitted.

For example, today's date as output by SHORT_DATE_FORMAT is '10/Feb/2012'. If this is used as the default value for a form field, then that form field will fail validation.

Is this desired behaviour? Shall I raise a bug?

Yes. I'd call it a bug. Should be small "m" in SHORT_DATE_FORMAT.

That's what I thought. I've opened  https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/17670

FYI. In Italian Wikipedia short dates are formatted as "d M Y" (e.g., 21 gen 2012).
