5728	SelectDateWidget does not work with datetime.date	MikeH	nobody	"If I'm creating a form to update an existing object, I pass in the date from the object. This is a datetime.date but the SelectDateWidget in newforms.extras.widgets expects it to be a string, or else it does not set the values on the select boxes correctly.

I solved the problem by forcing the incoming value to be a string.

Add

    value = str(value)
