Chris Wilcox <pyt...@crwilcox.com> added the comment:
As %m and %d denote zero padded forms of month and day it seems to me this
shouldn't match. Executing a small c program `char* ret = strptime("181223",
"%Y%m%d", &tm);` confirms that this is considered invalid to c. The datetime
docs indicate that the behavior should match C89 so I would expect python to
return ValueError here as well.
