New submission from David Wolever: The documentation for the `%S` formatter suggests that it supports leap seconds, but the footnote contradicts that:
> The range really is 0 to 61; according to the Posix standard this > accounts for leap seconds and the (very rare) double leap seconds. > The time module may produce and does accept leap seconds since it is > based on the Posix standard, but the datetime module does not accept > leap seconds in strptime() input nor will it produce them in > strftime() output. I propose that the documentation be updated to mirror the 3.X documentation: no leap second in the example and a footnote which makes note of that and suggests using the time module. ---------- assignee: wolever messages: 195008 nosy: wolever priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: datetime documentation contradictory on leap second support versions: Python 2.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue18718> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
