I believe the reason is that time.strftime behavior is platform dependent, so "man strftime" is likely to produce more relevant documentation than "pydoc time.strftime". Python manual <http://docs.python.org/library/time.html?#time.strftime> lists ANSI C codes, but warns that "Additional directives may be supported on certain platforms, but only the ones listed here have a meaning standardized by ANSI C." It is likely that there are platforms where ANSI C subset does not behave in a fully compliant manner. ---------- nosy: +belopolsky _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue9650> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
