Description (last modified by Jacob)

If I try to submit a datetime field in the admin interface, and the time is not provided (I'm setting disabled=true on the field with javascript), I get the following traceback:

Traceback (most recent call last):

  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/django/core/handlers/base.py", line 63, in get_response
    return callback(request, **param_dict)

  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/django/views/admin/main.py", line 767, in add_stage
    manipulator.do_html2python(new_data)

  File "/opt/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/django/core/formfields.py", line 98, in do_html2python
    new_data.setlist(field.field_name, [field.__class__.html2python(None)])

  File "/opt/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages/django/core/formfields.py", line 654, in html2python
    time_tuple = time.strptime(data, '%H:%M:%S')

  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.4/_strptime.py", line 290, in strptime
    found = format_regex.match(data_string)

TypeError: expected string or buffer

Here's a diff against 331 that fixes the problem. (I don't know if this is a use-case you want to deal with, but the fix seems pretty trivial.)

Resolution: fixed
Status: newclosed

(In [702]) Fixed #213 -- Improved formfields.TimeField.html2python() so that it doesn't fail for None input
