Erik Cederstrand added the comment:
I think POLA would be to raise ValueError on time.strptime('2015', '%G') and
other situations that don't make sense or are ambiguous.
That, or reproduce the bugs that the native OS strptime() implementation has. I
got the %G, %V, and %u directives accepted for the next POSIX spec
(http://austingroupbugs.net/view.php?id=879). But it will be years before
operating systems catch up, so I would opt for the ValueError approach instead.
