SilentGhost added the comment:
Jens, the issue seems to be related to the locale under which your script is
operating. You could try to ensure that the locale is suitable for the %b
switch. In any case this doesn't look like a datetime bug.

New submission from Jens de Bruijn:
Datetime crashes while running script from the command line. When running the
same date string from the interpreter (Ubuntu 16.04) it does not crash.
date = datetime.datetime.strptime('May 01 23:59:59 + 2016', '%b %d %H:%M:%S
+ %Y')
