I agree, this can be improved (particularly the first one). I believe we'll need to change it in the C implementation as well as the pure python version. That said, the most useful thing for users would be a full formatting reference, which is too much to put in the docstring (and to maintain in at least 3 different places). I'm not sure *how* much better it can get, but at least the first one reads like a terrible self-referential dictionary entry "recyclist (n). a proponent of recyclism". At the very least it should disambiguate between `datetime.strftime`, `time.strftime` and `stftime(3)`. ---------- nosy: +p-ganssle priority: normal -> low stage: -> needs patch type: -> enhancement _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue40643> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
