Hi, I'm attempting to convert some date-time strings from a text file under windows into a datetime object as returned by strptime()
However, the strings can represent dates in various formats based on the country of origin, for example shortened month names etc.. are different between countries. I am trying to set the correct locale for strptime to work, but I'm having a lot of trouble doing this under windows. IE, wher the date is in the Danish Language, import locale locale.setlocale('LC_ALL',locale.normalize('da_DK')) gives locale.Error: unsupported locale string. I have tried various ways but always hit the same error. I understand setting LC_ALL may not be what I require, I was first looking to simply get the locale setting correctly before I started changing only the date-time specific elements. Any help or pointers much appreciated. Current searching around is revealing a fair amount of confusion..! Thanks, Matt. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
