Trying to test SelectDateWidget as SelectMonthDayWidget on command line

[eileen at themaii.org]

Hi,
I'm a newbie and I want to change the Django SelectDateWidget to SelectMonthDayWidget because I can't use the year in my application. I had been getting another error (which I don't recall right now) on the statement that started 'html['month']' so, I decided to convert it to command line to get a better picture of what's going on.
Unfotunately, now I get:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "SelectMDWidget.py", line 34, in <module>
    class SelectMonthDayWidget(month,day_ok):
TypeError: Error when calling the metaclass bases
    unicode() argument 2 must be string, not tuple

What am I doing wrong? I'm passing the class two strings...
