I had the same problem with Python 2.4. Dates appear to need a
trailing space.
ephem.date('1994/7/16 ')
works for me.
I believe the following code in ephem.c is responsible:
if (conversions == -1 || !conversions ||
(conversions == 1 && s[dchars] != '\0') ||
(conversions == 2 && s[tchars] != '\0')) {
PyErr_SetString(PyExc_ValueError,
"your date string does not seem to have "
"year/month/day followed optionally by "
"hours:minutes:seconds");
This may be a VC versus gcc issue. It would be interesting to see if a
Mingw compile would help here.
