Re: problem importing blank date using https://github.com/edcrewe/django-csvimport

Unfortunately python's csv capabilities have a fundamental problem - they can't express null/None content. Any empty content will always show up as an empty string ''. So what's being pass to your date constructor is an empty string which is not a valid date format. Best work around is to generally iterate over your results and replace any '' value with None.

I'm using an application to import some csv files to my models.  This
package bombs with the error
Exception Value: [u"'' value has an invalid date format. It must be in
YYYY-MM-DD format."]

when the csv has empty data.

I've googled, and it looks like there is some discussion on the github
page making me think this should work for me, but it doesn't

Any ideas?
