Timezone without format

[djcoin]

Is it possible to use L10N and yet to specify a custom format?
It does not seem so at the time ( https://github.com/asaglimbeni/django-datetime-widget/blob/master/datetimewidget/widgets.py#L193 ).

Would you accept a simple patch that enables this?

Hi,

I've managed to solve this via Django localization https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.7/topics/i18n/formatting/ by overriding DATETIME_INPUT_FORMATS. With this solution you will benefit from automatic conversions to Django datetime objects when processing forms POST data with this widget in the form. I'm not sure if it would work with your approach.

So I have nothing to do with maintaining this but I think it would be a pretty good idea!

I think the idea is that if you enable L10N, then you should work with the Django DATETIME_INPUT_FORMATS to get the appropriate localised formats.

I've not used this in a bit, but what would be the advantage of having L10N on and then setting the format anyway? I thought the L10N was just about helping with formatting?

I think #68 is related? Format not working when L10N is enabled?
While I can understand the logic behind the way it's implemented, wouldn't it be better to still allow specifying a custom format if you're using L10n?

I have committed a quick pull request which resolves this issue - #93 . It seems that translations do not take effect unless usel10n is set, but there may be cases where translations are required and a specific format is also needed.
