Alexander Belopolsky <belopol...@users.sourceforge.net> added the comment:
The problem I have with strftime %-format codes is that according to BSD manual page they have already ran out of English alphabet and still "there is no conversion specification for the phase of the moon." :-) On a serious note, there are no codes to format TZ offset hours and minutes separately which precludes specifying an important RFC 3339 format. I think we should take this opportunity to define a comprehensive mini-language for datetime formatting rather than slavishly reuse strftime. The new mini-language may end up to be a superset of that for strftime, but I would rather not commit to supporting %-codes indefinitely. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue8913> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
