New submission from Alexander Belopolsky <belopol...@users.sourceforge.net>:
The following code:
import locale, time
locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, "fr_FR.UTF-8")
t = time.localtime()
s = time.strftime('%c', t)
time.strptime('%c', s)
Raises
ValueError: time data '%c' does not match format 'Mer 9 jui 16:14:46 2010'
in any locale where month follows day in '%c' format. Note that attached C
code works as expected on my OSX laptop.
I wonder it it would make sense to call platform strptime where available? I
wonder if platform support for strptime has improved since 2002 when
_strptime.py was introduced.
