Alexander Belopolsky added the comment: After reading the standard a few more times, I agree with Brett and Ethan that this is at most a call for better documentation.
I'll leave this open for a chance that someone will come up with a succinct description of what exactly datetime.strptime does. (Maybe we should just document the format to regexp translation implemented in _strptime.py.) We may also include POSIX's directive "The application shall ensure that there is white-space or other non-alphanumeric characters between any two conversion specifications" as a recommendation. ---------- assignee: -> belopolsky components: +Documentation -Library (Lib) type: behavior -> enhancement versions: +Python 3.5 -Python 3.4 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue22840> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
