R. David Murray <rdmur...@bitdance.com> added the comment: Thanks for wanting to work on this.
It is a little hard to parse from the OP's initial post, but he is asking that %V and %u be supported by datetime.strptime, which they currently are not. strptime is the generalized constructor for turning a string into a datetime, so no, a new constructor is not the right approach. The code that implements the strptime method of datetime is in the file _strptime.py in Lib. Your patch should be against that code. (Note that this is pretty un-obvious, I had to dig a bit to figure it out!) ---------- nosy: +r.david.murray _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12006> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
