dc = validators.DateConverter(month_style='yyyy/mm/dd')
dc.to_python('2000-01-01')


This should work, but...


>>> dc = validators.DateConverter(month_style='yyyy-mm-dd')
>>> dc.to_python('2000-01-21')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?

It looks like a FormEncode bug to me since other formats work as expected:

>>> dc = validators.DateConverter(month_style='dd-mm-yyyy')
>>> dc.to_python('01-01-2000')
datetime.date(2000, 1, 1)
>>> dc.to_python('01-13-2000')
