[issue39422] datetime.datetime.strptime incorrectly interpretting format '%Y%m%d'
New submission from Cleland Loszewski :
```python
from datetime import datetime
print(datetime.strptime('2020016', '%Y%m%d'))
print(datetime.strptime('20200116', '%Y%m%d'))
```
The former string has a format that does not match '%Y%m%d', but the latter
does. Both report the same datatime output.

[issue39422] datetime.datetime.strptime incorrectly interpretting format '%Y%m%d'
Cleland Loszewski added the comment:
You're right, I did mean the second string to report '20200106'.
Looking closer, I see that I was reading the documentation incorrectly and
getting hung up on an introduced ambiguity.
```python
from datetime import datetime
print(datetime.strptime('2020016', '%Y%m%d'))
print(datetime.strptime('20200106', '%Y%m%d'))
print(datetime.strptime('202016', '%Y%m%d'))
print(datetime.strptime('2020106', '%Y%m%d'))
```
