How to Extend Django DATETIME_INPUT_FORMATS Setting

Question

The Django setting DATETIME_INPUT_FORMATS has a default that consists of a tuple with several input formats. I would like to put a setting in my settings file that keeps all those default formats and adds one more. I tried: ``` DATETIME_INPUT_FORMATS = ('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M %p', ) ``` But it seems to over-write the defaults. I realize I could just copy the defaults from the docs and create a new tuple. But that seems ugly. Any one know how to do this?

Accepted Answer

```
from django.conf.global_settings import DATETIME_INPUT_FORMATS

DATETIME_INPUT_FORMATS += ('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M %p',)
```

I believe this should work in your settings.py file.
