Re: Why %e not in time.strftime directives?

2008-12-14 Thread Tim Chase 

Any special reasons?

Because it is there (at least on my Debian box)?


But not on windows :(

import time
time.strftime(%e)

''


Guess you'll have to take it up with the authors of strftime() at 
Microsoft :)



 The full set of format codes supported varies across
 platforms, because Python calls the platform C library's
 strftime() function, and platform variations are common.

So if your underlying C implementation of strftime() supports %e, then
Python will.  My guess is that the same applies to time.strftime as it does
to datetime.strftime

The docs list ones that are fairly cross-platform.  However, it would seem
that not all platforms support %e


If you don't have any luck convincing Microsoft to add %e to 
their strftime implementation, you can use


  strftime('%d').lstrip('0').rjust(2)

to replicate the desired behavior :)
