Comment (by flesser):
I indeed was expecting to use Python's formatting characters in a Python
project.
Using PHP's formatting characters instead (`format="l, d.m.Y"`) as
[https://docs.djangoproject.com/es/1.9/ref/templates/builtins/#date
documented here] gives me the result I was looking for.
Considering the method is intended for use in a Twig-like template
environment, the design decision to make it PHP compatible seems
reasonable. But mentioning that in the docstring and the error message
would help to prevent misunderstandings like mine.
