New submission from Steve Yeung:
Currently, the regex in TimeRE enforces the numeric ranges. For example:
'm': r"(?P<m>1[0-2]|0[1-9]|[1-9])",
As a result, an invalid month will cause an generic regex error:
ValueError: time data '2015/16/5' does not match format '%Y/%m/%d'
However, if we relax the regex to not check the range and allow datetime to
handle it:
'm': r"(?P<m>\d{1,2})"
The error will be handle in datetime instead and the error will be much more
helpful:
ValueError: month must be in 1..12
Please consider relaxing the regex for numeric ranges in _strptime.TimeRE.
