I don't know if I should enter a new bug, for now, have just added a comment to the above closure, not sure if anyone will look into whether this issue should be reopened. http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1493676&group_id=5470&atid=105470 [above bug says that %z (small z) is not supported by Python - that seems to be incorrect, atleast to me. Capital Z may be deprecated, but not small z as far as I can tell.] Can we confirm whether this issue is not a python issue? We are talking about small z, not capital Z. >From Python docs at http://docs.python.org/lib/module-time.html : "The use of %Z is now deprecated, but the %z escape that expands to the preferred hour/minute offset is not supported by all ANSI C libraries." Most current C libraries support %z, it is in fact the preferred way to do things, would be bad to see python reject this. Even then - isn't the above a bug? If not supported, %z should always provide a empty character, but not print out totally incorrect data as +0000 for EST. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
