Actually I was wrong. Based on some more testing I did on Linux and Windows 8 and the previous comments in this thread, it seems that, with 1 as year: * '%4Y' does produces '0001' on Linux but gives a value error on Windows and '4Y' on OS X; * '%Y' produces '1' on Linux and '0001' on Windows and OS X; So the problem is only on Linux and only with years <1000, where to have a zero-padded value %4Y can be used instead. I don't know if these results are true for all versions of Linux/Win/OSX, so the note could just say that: 1) some platforms (e.g. Linux) don't zero-pad years <1000; 2) some platforms (e.g. Linux) support %4Y to add padding, but this doesn't work on other platforms. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13305> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
