My understanding of the python documentation and the ISO 8601 standard is that the digits in a timestamp representing hours, minutes and seconds shall always be in pairs of 2 digits (hh, mm, ss), i.e. when a number is less than 10 it should be preceded by 0. In the example I give, the minute figure is split between minutes and seconds by the python library function which I consider a bug: datetime.datetime.strptime('20110817T1234','%Y%m%dT%H%M%S') gives datetime.datetime(2011, 8, 17, 12, 3, 4) ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12886> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
