Django form field using SelectDateWidget

Question

I've installed the latest SVN branch from Django which includes the new forms. I'm trying to use the SelectDateWidget from django.forms.extras.widgets but the field is showing up as a normal DateInput widget.

Here is the forms.py from my application:

from django import forms
from jacob_forms.models import Client

class ClientForm(forms.ModelForm):
    DOB = forms.DateField(widget=forms.extras.widgets.SelectDateWidget)

    class Meta:
            model = Client

What am I doing wrong? Checking the forms/extras/widgets.py I see the SelectDateWidget class exists.

Answer 1

The real problem was that SelectDateWidget can't be referenced this way. Changing the code to reference it differently solved my problem:

from django.forms import extras
...
    DOB = forms.DateField(widget=extras.SelectDateWidget)

This seems to be a limitation that you can't reference package.package.Class from an imported package. The solution imports extras so the reference is just package.Class.
