Hi, I'm using datetime.strptime(string,format) to convert dates parsed from a file into datetime objects.
However, the files come from various places around the world, and strptime fails when non-english month names are used. strptime says it converts month names using the current locales version of the name. I've looked into the locale module but can't see how I would setup.change a locales date/time representations, I can only see categories related to decimal number / currency representations. Can anyone show how I could change the locale such that strptime could parse a date string that used say, German month names? Thankyou -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
