New submission from STINNER Victor <vstin...@redhat.com>:
It seems like bpo-31339 introduced a regression with commit eeadf5fc231163ec97a8010754d9c995c7c14876 to fix a security issue. Copy of of bencordova's comment from GitHub: https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/3293#issuecomment-446378058 I'm new at commenting on this project so apologies if this is not the appropriate place to do so. >From what I can see (upgrading from python 2.7.13->2.7.15), the string format >on line 648 of Modules/timemodule.c causes a different output from >time.ctime() and time.asctime(t) for "days of the month < 10" "%s %s%3d %.2d:%.2d:%.2d %d" The "%3d" in this change removes the leading zero on the tm_mday but maintains a leading space. Just looking for feedback on what the intention was and if this is a bug. python 2.7.13: >>> import time >>> t = time.strptime("6 Dec 18", "%d %b %y") >>> time.asctime(t) 'Thu Dec 06 00:00:00 2018' python 2.7.15: >>> import time >>> t = time.strptime("6 Dec 18", "%d %b %y") >>> time.asctime(t) 'Thu Dec 6 00:00:00 2018' Note, the string with this change includes two spaces between "Dec" and "6" which also looks awkward.
