Strange, but I can't figure out how to switch back to the default locale. >>> import locale, datetime, time >>> locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, 'nl_NL') 'nl_NL' >>> date = '10 augustus 2005 om 17:26' >>> time.strptime(date, "%d %B %Y om %H:%M") (2005, 8, 10, 17, 26, 0, 2, 222, -1) >>> locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, '') 'en_US.UTF-8' >>> date = '10 August 2005 at 17:26' >>> time.strptime(date, "%d %B %Y at %H:%M") Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in ? File "/usr/lib/python2.4/_strptime.py", line 292, in strptime raise ValueError("time data did not match format: data=%s fmt=%s" % ValueError: time data did not match format: data=10 August 2005 at 17:26 fmt=%d %B %Y at %H:%M
Also, locale.resetlocale() throws locale.Error (I saw some open bugs on this). Ugh! Is this stuff broken or is it just me? -- Adam Monsen http://adammonsen.com/ -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
