The documention also does not indicate how to set or modify these values in python code (although acceptable inputs in forms is documented in the Form Fields reference).

Current: A date field. Has a few extra optional arguments:

Suggested: A date field. Normalizes to a python datetime.date object. Has a few optional arguments.

And similarly for DateTimeField and TimeField."		closed	Documentation	1.0		fixed			Ready for checkin	1	0	0	0	0	0
