If it does not, it should :-) since it addresses the problem in one standard place. It would be foolish for Python to re-implement that functionality when presumably the operating system already knows how to map between dates and locale-specific text representations. You'll need to check the operating system documentation for what alternative it might provide. -- \ “I got fired from my job the other day.
