getDateFromString() by default only converts dates in 2 formats. It'll try them
in
this order:
ISO8601 ("YYYY-MM-DD")
%x (the current locale's date format)
What's happening to you is that the current locale's format must be %m/%d/%y
(MM/DD/YY) but you are passing the 4-digit year and python's time.strftime()
function
can't convert it.
