Possibilities: (1) The thread implementation has acquired extra characters (whitespace or \x00). (2) The thread implementation has changed to a locale that doesn't have "Thu" & "Jun" as day/month name abbreviations. Try inserting print "strptime(%r); locale: %r" % (s, locale.getlocale()) before your call to strptime() HTH, John -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
