Following python code prints out incorrect UTC Offset - the python docs say that %z is not fully supported on all platforms - but on Linux Fedora FC5, perl code works and python does not - is this a bug or is this expected behavior? For a EST timezone setup, Perl prints correct -0500, while Python prints +0000 - this is Python 2.4.
Perl: $now_string = strftime "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S %Z%z", localtime; print $now_string, "(iso local)\n"; 2007-02-21 21:16:16 EST-0500 (iso localtime, perl) Python: now_string = time.strftime("%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S %Z%z", time.localtime()) print now_string, " (iso localtime, python)" 2007-02-21 21:15:58 EST+0000 (iso localtime, python) Is this expected behavior, or a bug? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
