What's the problem with the DateTimeField in a model?

in your models.py:

class Foo(models.Model):
    datetime = models.DateTimeField()

class FooForm(forms.ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = Foo


in your views.py:

def bar(request):
    form = FooForm()
    return render_to_response("bar.html", {"form": form})


in template bar.html:

    {{ foo }}


There's absolutely nothing special here :) .

If you couldn't understand some of the code, then you should read the
documentation .
