We have been trying to figure out an intermittent problem where a thread would fail with this:
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute '_strptime' Even though we were importing datetime. After much banging our heads against the wall, we found this: http://code-trick.com/python-bug-attribute-error-_strptime/ The workaround suggested there, to call strptime before starting your threads, seems to have fixed the issue. I thought I'd mention it here in case anyone else is facing this. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
