Thanks for the quick response. I would be happy to write a pull request for
the doc change. I've never done this before so it'll take a little while to
get my head around the process, but the "Helping with Documentation"
chapter seems good.

[issue34903] strptime %d handling of single digit day of month

[Mike Gleen]

Mike Gleen  added the comment:

Sorry for the omission. This refers to datetime.datetime.strptime. The 
documentation I referenced is: https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html; 
I did not test 2.7.

[issue34903] strptime %d handling of single digit day of month

[Mike Gleen]

New submission from Mike Gleen :

strptime correctly parses single digit day-of-month values (at least in the 
case of "%d %b %Y") which is the behavior I want. However, the documentation 
seems to say that the field must be two digits with a leading zero if 
necessary. So I hope that this is the intended behavior rather than just an 
accidental artifact. If so, then my suggestion is that the documentation be 
updated to reflect this.
