I'm writing a script to help with analyzing log files timestamps and have a
very specific question on which I'm momentarily stumped....

I'd like the script to support multiple log file types, so allow a strftime
format to be passed in as a cli switch (default is %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S).

import datetime
p = datetime.datetime.strptime("2008-07-23 12:18:28 this is the
remainder of the log line that I do not care about", "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S")
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/opt/local/lib/python2.5/_strptime.py", line 333, in strptime
    data_string[found.end():])
ValueError: unconverted data remains: this is the remainder of the log line
that I do not care about

If the logfile has fixed width fields, you may ask the user a column range to extract the date/time information.
