#4090 closed (wontfix)

Allow django.newforms.extras be included at django.newforms

Description

I use the following code to get access to newforms code.

import django.newforms as forms

class MyForm(forms.Form)
    mydate = forms.DateField()

All works well, but following the same convention and wanting to use the django.newforms.extras.SelectDateWidget will result in extras not being found.

import django.newforms as forms

class MyForm(forms.Form)
    mydate = forms.DateField(widget=forms.extras.SelectDateWidget())

I have attached the one liner needed in django/newforms/init.py to allow for this. I don't see it as causing any problems.

Adrian, was this intentional?

I'm -1 on this. One of the reasons behind the extras module is to separate uncommonly used fields/widgets so that they're not loaded if they're not needed. This patch makes it so that they're always loaded, which goes against the whole point of having an extras module.
