module' object has no attribute 'SelectDateWidget'

I'm trying to create a custom form/view in Calendarium and i keep getting an error 

AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'SelectDateWidget'

CreateEvent within my forms.py

class CreateEvent(forms.ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = Event
        fields = ['title', 'start', 'end', 'description', 'category', 'created_by', 'rule', 'end_recurring_period']
        widgets = {
            'start': forms.SelectDateWidget()
        }

EventCreateView within views.py

class EventCreateView(EventMixin, CreateView):
    form_class = CreateEvent
    model = Event

Does anyone know why i'm getting this error

Extra(If Allowed):

Within the EventCreateView its being passed "EventMixin" which looks like this

class EventMixin(object):
    """Mixin to handle event-related functions."""
    model = Event
    fields = '__all__'



    @method_decorator(permission_required('calendarium.add_event'))
    def dispatch(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
        return super(EventMixin, self).dispatch(request, *args, **kwargs)

Can someone explain this to me?

According to the docs, you can only import the SelectDateWidget widget from django.forms in Django 1.9+.

In earlier versions, you need to import it from django.forms.extras.widgets.

First, add the import:

from django.forms.extras.widgets import SelectDateWidget

Then change the widgets in your form to:

    widgets = {
        'start': SelectDateWidget(),
    }

You are missing widgets:

class CreateEvent(forms.ModelForm):
    class Meta:
        model = Event
        fields = ['title', 'start', 'end', 'description', 'category', 'created_by', 'rule', 'end_recurring_period']
        widgets = {
            'start': forms.widgets.SelectDateWidget()
        }
        #                    ^^

On another note, I suspect the file containing that snippet is named forms.py
