Adding Human Readable Name to forms.DateField with input_formats option causes input_format to complain about multiple values for input_formats

[amit.prakash.ambasta@…]

The following code snippet

from django import forms
from django.utils.translation import ugettext_lazy as _

class SearchForm( forms.Form):
    d_o_b = forms.DateField( _( 'Human Readable Name'), required=False, input_formats=('%d-%m-%Y',))

causes django to complain __init__() got multiple values for keyword argument 'input_formats'

while

    d_o_b = form.DateField( required=False, input_formats=('%d-%m-%Y',))

works fine.

Form fields don't take any non-keyword arguments, and I don't see anywhere in the documentation (e.g. ​https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.3/ref/forms/fields/#core-field-arguments) that implies differently. If that _('Human Readable Name') is intended to be the field's label, then it needs to be passed as label=_('Human Readable Name').

My assumption was that they worked similar to model fields. If that is not so.. why does the following code work:

   variable_number = forms.IntegerField( _( 'Human Readable Name'), required = False, label = 'Label Name')

Also, what does the string argument "Human Readable Name" represent in this case?

"You can use an optional first positional argument to a Field to designate a human-readable name...and it doubles as documentation"
