Ezio Melotti <ezio.melo...@gmail.com> added the comment: I was able to reproduce this using an italian locale on Windows: >>> locale.setlocale(locale.LC_TIME, 'Italian_Italy.1252') 'Italian_Italy.1252' >>> time.strftime("%A", time.strptime("2009-05-01", "%Y-%m-%d")) 'venerd?'
That should be 'venerdì'. I also found http://bugs.python.org/issue3061 and http://bugs.python.org/issue836035 that seem to be related. (#5398 instead doesn't seem to be related.) Apparently on Py3.x a unicode string ('str') is returned, whereas Py2.x returns an encoded string: >>> time.strftime("%A", time.strptime("2009-05-01", "%Y-%m-%d")) 'venerd\xec' ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue5903> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
