Ah, interesting. I was looking at the time.strptime docs. I incorrectly assumed that since help(datetime.strptime) defers to help(time.strptime), the docs would also. I note it says that "datetime.strptime(date_string, format) is equivalent to datetime(*(time.strptime(date_string, format)[0:6]))", but clearly that's not the case when the format includes %z. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
