Default format datetime Django 1.6

Question

I have a project in Django 1.6 and a configuration file called formats.py, it is defined as I want the date to appear in my project. In my settings I tell the FORMAT_MODULE_PATH the path to that file,but Django is ignoring this file and whenever I have the need display date use filters. How do I stop the default date format in the project?

My formats.py

 DATE_FORMAT = '%d/%m/%Y'
 DATETIME_FORMAT = '%d/%m/%Y %H:%M:%S'
 DATE_INPUT_FORMATS = ('%d/%m/%Y', '%d/%m/%y', '%Y-%m-%d')

in my settings i use:

FORMAT_MODULE_PATH = 'myproject.formats'

Structure:

myproject /
  formats /
    init.py
    pt_BR /
      init.py
    formats.py

What does your directory structure/tree look like. Where is your **formats.py** located? — rnevius, May 07 '14 at 14:34
Please show your directory structure. In particular, where is `formats.py` located? — alecxe, May 07 '14 at 14:34
@Vanderson could you check if renaming `pt_BR` package to `pt` helps? — alecxe, May 07 '14 at 14:50
You need an `__init__.py` in your formats folder as well as each language folder — rockingskier, May 07 '14 at 15:13
@Vanderson ok, what does `import locale;print locale.getdefaultlocale()` print? — alecxe, May 07 '14 at 15:52

You need an __init__.py in your formats folder as well as each language folder

myproject /
    formats /
        init.py  # <----- 
        pt_BR /
            init.py
            formats.py
