Description

When datetime db field (in model) is blank=True, null=True, then I get TypeError when submit(save) form for this model with no date and/or time filled in:

TypeError at /admin/cms/article/239/

I'm not sure, that I know how to fix this bug correctly. I think the bug is on line 521 in fields.py:

        elif not self.required and not value:

IHMO value is always list of values from fields, so "not value" is not a proper condition. I created patch which checks all values in list "value" (look at patch). Is that correct fix for this bug?

This is a more complete fix for the bug. Compress should still do some logic if it requires all the fields to be there if it required=False.

Tests included.
