I would agree to this approach with respect to a proposed fromisoformat() method (see issue 15873), but setptime seems to be about specifying an exact format. For example, "%Y%m%d" will not accept "2016-07-16". ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue24954> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
