Hi, I want to parse strings containing date-time, which look like the following:
"Mon Dec 19 11:06:12:333 CET 2005" That's a problem for strptime it seems, b/c I cannot find any format-spec for the milliseconds-part in here. (I'm also not sure about the validity of the tz part, but ...) As an aside, the dates are all in english while my PC might have a dutch locale -- not even sure about what Python would consider the current locale. So that's an extra obstacle to parsing these dates. The datetime module doesn't seem to provide a better solution either. What I want to get is some sort of sortable date; either as a number or (if nothing else) as a string in ISO8601 format. (But I want to avoid doing too many string manipulations on my input dates; and changing the dateformat of the input-source will be hard if at all justifiable.) Any help is appreciated.
