I understand that this is going to be more of a rant than an objective analysis, but after wasting a whole day reading the docs and digging into magic (even in the magic-removal branch) largely undocumented code, I still haven't got the fancy calendar and time javascript admin widgets working in my app. At this point I'm not sure if this is due to lack of documentation or because the admin interface is simply an impressive one-off, not intended to be reused in any non-trivial degree, but the whole experience has been frustrating so far.
The closest I got was after reading a related post (http://groups.google.com/group/django-users/browse_frm/thread/3328829f1ed7f788/a980f983c5fc1bad?q=widgets&rnum=2#a980f983c5fc1bad), but even that didn't quite work for me. Why on earth doesn't forms.DatetimeField have an optional "with_javascript" argument to handle all the gory details (add an entry to urlConf file, include the required javascript files or whatever else it needs) ? TurboGears seemed somewhat better in the widgets department, although its even greater lack of documentation, admin interface and the surplus of automagic metaclass code made me leave it behind after a few days hitting one wall after the other. I have the vague impression that the custom admin template tags might be useful in a more general context.. if only they were documented...
