Eric Smith <e...@trueblade.com> added the comment: I think we're stuck with strftime for quite a while, no matter how ugly it is. datetime.__format__ uses it, for example. Although maybe it's possible to write an strftime-format to new-format translator.
If we're going to take this on (re-writing strftime), I think the way to do it is to have it take the locale info as a parameter, and if that parameter is NULL then look up the info in the current locale. It looks like it's still a problem to find all of the info in the locale on all platforms, though. Finding the locale info is no doubt the tricky part, as someone said. I agree it would be easier to write this from scratch rather than track down the licensing on the existing patch. As it is, there's just not much code there. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue3173> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
