New submission from itchyny <itchyny.itch...@gmail.com>:
In Python 3.9.2, parsing 'z' (small letter) as '%z' (time zone offset) using
datetime.strptime emits an IndexError.
>>> from datetime import datetime
>>> datetime.strptime('z', '%z')
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/_strptime.py", line 568, in _strptime_datetime
tt, fraction, gmtoff_fraction = _strptime(data_string, format)
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/_strptime.py", line 453, in _strptime
if z[3] == ':':
IndexError: string index out of range
I expect ValueError (or some another useful error) as follows.
ValueError: time data 'z' does not match format '%z'
This is caused by compiling '%z' to a pattern containing 'Z' (for UTC) with the
IGNORECASE flag and accessing z[3] without noticing 'z' is accepted by the
regexp.
