I guess what I'm thinking of `Www Mmm dd hh:mm:ss yyyy` as representing isn't so much a format, but rather a literal replacement of where each value has a placeholder in the string (that is, a pattern). So, even if `Www` doesn't mean anything, to me it means that the first three characters in the string are a Weekday, then there's a space, then Mmm is the month, then a space, then dd is the day number (with zero sometimes suppressed), etc. If that is more confusing than not using it, then that's fine. I just wanted to mention it. Using %d to me is also confusing since the docs define %d as `Day of the month as a decimal number [01,31]`. This clearly isn't using 01, but rather suppressing the 0. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue13927> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
