1) Patch comments - thanks for those. Will have them fixed. 2) General strategy for implementing strptime. I must confess I don't fully understand the reason for doing what the _strptime module does. Standard C AFAIK has nothing of the sort - it only has strftime and strptime, both using a given format string. Neither tries to guess it from an actual formatted time! Does it exist just to circumvent platforms where strptime isn't implemented in C or is buggy? Can you please shed some light on this (or point me somewhere)? With understanding of (2) I will be able to also logically reason about the next steps :-) ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue8957> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
