I don't believe this is a duplicate if #32267, which is actually about the %z
directive.
I think the implementation here is correct and the documentation is
semi-correct, it depends on how you look at it, consider:
>>> datetime(2018, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1).strftime('%f')
'000001'
>>> datetime(2018, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 100000).strftime('%f')
'100000'
In the first case "1" got expanded to "000001" and "100000" was printed as-is.
However, when you interpret it as being *after* the decimal point, you would
consider the first one to not be zero-padded at all and the second one to be
zero-padded on the right.
I think the documentation can just be changed to "zero-padded to 6 digits"
without specifying left or right.
