Brett Cannon <br...@python.org> added the comment: I don't find it odd at all that you use datetime-specific formats instead of integral formats to get numbers out of a datetime object; they are totally different things. And one of the reasons for __format__ support is to have DSLs such as the one for datetime objects.
As for pulling out individual objects, that just looks ugly, so I wouldn't advocate pulling out individual values and then formatting them individually in the string itself. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue8913> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
