Hate to weasel out of this one, but the language that strptime provides is pretty limited. I don't find it useful except in the trivial cases. Same goes for strftime. Also, both of these are very Western European centric. Yes, Asian languages are supported but not naturally. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
