New submission from Christian Heimes <li...@cheimes.de>:
Several test cases for datetime and time modules use the non-standard and
non-portal width prefix for strftime:
>>> datetime.date(42, 1, 1).strftime("%4Y")
'0042'
According to man strftime(3)
https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/strftime.3.html the width field is
glibc-specific extension:
> Glibc provides some extensions for conversion specifications.
> (These extensions are not specified in POSIX.1-2001, but a few
> other systems provide similar features.) Between the '%'
> character and the conversion specifier character, an optional
> flag and field width may be specified.
The width field is not supported by Emscripten, which only implements
POSIX.1-2001 compatible date and time formatting:
