Any special reasons?
Because it is there (at least on my Debian box)?

The full set of format codes supported varies across
platforms, because Python calls the platform C library's
strftime() function, and platform variations are common.
So if your underlying C implementation of strftime() supports
"%e", then Python will. My guess is that the same applies to
time.strftime as it does to datetime.strftime
The docs list ones that are fairly cross-platform. However, it
would seem that not all platforms support "%e"
