[issue20281] time.strftime %z format specifier is the same as %Z
New submission from Mike Owens:
When using strftime from the time module on 64bit Python for Windows the format
specifier %z gives the time zone name instead of the time zone offset as stated
in the documentation.
eg
>>> strftime("%z")
'US Mountain Standard Time'
>>> strftime("%Z")
'US Mountain Standard Time'
The expected output for my time zone is -7:00.

Mike Owens added the comment: Expected output should be -0700. I checked Python 3.3.1 and 2.7.4 on Linux and the output is as expected. -- ___ Python tracker <http://bugs.python.org/issue20281> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue20281] time.strftime %z format specifier is the same as %Z
Mike Owens added the comment: Documentation doesn't have a foot note for either %z or %Z but there is generic footnote talking about C lib behavior and that %z is deprecated. I guess if there were a foot note in the table for %z that would save some time for everyone. -- ___ Python tracker <http://bugs.python.org/issue20281> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
