Here is an example.

Form for validating date input:

class PickDateForm(forms.Form):
    date = forms.DateField(widget=forms.DateInput(attrs={'class': 'any_custom_class_name'}))

View:

def query_by_month(request):
    if request.method == 'POST':
        form = PickDateForm(request.POST)
        if form.is_valid():
            selected_date= form.cleaned_data['date']    # 'selected_date' is a datetime.date object
            photos = Photo.objects.filter(uploaded_time__year=selected_date.year,
                                          uploaded_time__month=selected_date.month)
            return HttpResponse('Photos: ' + repr(photos))
        else:
            return HttpResponse('Invalid form')
    else:
        form = PickDateForm()
    return render(request, 'pickdate.html', {'form': form})

The HTML (using jQuery datepicker):

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="http://code.jquery.com/ui/1.11.0/themes/smoothness/jquery-ui.css">
    <script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.js"></script>
    <script src="http://code.jquery.com/ui/1.11.0/jquery-ui.js"></script>
    <script>
    $(function() {
        $( ".any_custom_class_name" ).datepicker();
    });
    </script>
</head>
<body>
    <form action="/pick_date/" method="post">
    {% csrf_token %}
    {{ form }}
    <input type="submit" value="Submit" />
    </form>
</body>
</html>
