New submission from Hugo Osvaldo Barrera:
As the the posix spec for strftime:
%c The preferred date and time representation for the current locale.
%x The preferred date representation for the current locale without the time.
However, python doesn't seem to respect this:
$ python3.5 -c "from datetime import datetime;
print(datetime.now().strftime('%x'))"
02/06/17
$ date +%x # This one is right:
2017-02-06
$ echo $LC_TIME
en_DK.UTF-8
* The same applies for '%c'.
* The same applies for other python versions.
* The same applies regardless of LC_TIME and LANG.
* The same applies to time.strftime()
* I tried a few different LC_TIME values, with the same result every time.
