Erik Cederstrand <e...@1calendar.dk> added the comment: Getting a date from ISO week /weekday is not possible with the %W and %w directives. ISO week numbers and normal week numbers are calculated differently (see my libc qoute in the original post). Also, using %w instead of %u would be ambiguous, since %w weeks start on Sunday, while %u start with Monday.
I agree that this should be implemented in strptime(), to follow libc strptime(). datetime() has a clear constructor while strptime() has all the whacky cases. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12006> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
