Yes! You got it.
>From a linux command line, I set locale to default:
# export LC_ALL=C (can I do this directly in bpython?)
And now magically from bpython:
>>> import whois
>>> w=whois.whois('google.com')
>>> w.expiration_date
datetime.datetime(2020, 9, 14, 0, 0)
Thanks!
A further question (forgive me if sounds dumb, I'm not a guru in Python
objects):
Is there a way to know what locale setting is a datetime object using?
Cannot bpython "read" the locale and correctly interpret the real date
from a datetime?
