Hi, perhaps I missed this posted already somewhere.
I am got a program which reads time stings from some devices which are providing the time zones. I have to take this into account when doing some epoch time calculations. When I run the following code with the time zone string set to 'GMT' it works ok. This works: myStrA = 'Sun Aug 22 19:03:06 GMT' gTimeA = strptime( myStrA, '%a %b %d %H:%M:%S %Z') print "gTimeA = ",gTimeA --- But when its set to 'PDT' it fails. Any ideas? whereas this fails: myStrA = 'Sun Aug 22 19:03:06 PDT' gTimeA = strptime( myStrA, '%a %b %d %H:%M:%S %Z') print "gTimeA = ",gTimeA ValueError: time data 'Sun Aug 22 19:03:06 PDT' does not match format '%a %b %d %H:%M:%S %Z' thank you, -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
