Alexander Belopolsky added the comment: Hmm, on Mac OSX "%" and "A%" are valid format strings:
>>> time.strftime("%") '%' >>> time.strftime("A%") 'A%' Mark's experiments show that on Windows they are not. What about the other platforms affected by the patch? I am concerned about the bottom part of the patch. A nitpick: an existing error message is "Invalid format string". I would either reuse it or make it "Incomplete format string". ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue24917> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
