R. David Murray added the comment: This almost qualifies as a FAQ :)
In 2.7 (and in 3.x, though we've added some additional platform independent stuff there), strptime supports what the platform supports, and this is documented: "The following is a list of all the format codes that the C standard (1989 version) requires, and these work on all platforms with a standard C implementation. Note that the 1999 version of the C standard added additional format codes." Windows, for one, is not a standard C implementation in that sense. Note that the python3 documentation is a bit clearer about this than the 2.7 docs. If you want to open a PR to backport the doc improvements, feel free to reopen this issue. ---------- nosy: +r.david.murray resolution: -> not a bug stage: -> resolved status: open -> closed _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue29690> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
