Here:
activity_code.effective_from = form.cleaned_data['effective_from']
You are assigning a string to what I assume is a models.DateTimeField
or DateField. I don't think that works. You need to turn the string
into a Python datetime object first. I think this is done
automatically for you if you were using a ModelForm.
