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".
