What should the date format for as_IN look like?

I'm seeing:

25-05-2012

which seems to match:

> LANG=as_IN.UTF-8 date +%x
25-05-2012

and:

> LANG=as_IN.UTF-8 python -c "import datetime; import locale; locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, ''); print locale.getlocale(locale.LC_TIME); print datetime.datetime.today().strftime('%x')"
('as_IN', 'UTF-8')
25-05-2012

NOTE: this is supposed to be the locale specific numerical date format (as opposed to say, '%c' date sub section, like "25 মে, 2012"

This seems to be working correctly to me unless the reporter is seeing different output.

Adrian,
Look at the attached screenshot.  Notice that the date format for LANG=as_IN.UTF-8 is not exactly the same between the cli and the gui.  I think these should be the exact same format.  NEEDINFO

Ah! In the date filter. Yeah, that one is going to be in ISO date format, not the localized date format. 

It uses the ISO for user input strings because of:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=744136
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=704069

(The localized date parsing strptime() is broken for some locales, even for formats that strftime() output. For added fun, some of the locales only break after September [single digit month to two digit months]. So the date format there was switched to the iso format that can be parsed).

If the date parsing ever gets fixed, we can move back to localized dates, but for now the iso date format there is correct.

As per comment 7 the date format will be ISO format for a few locales.
