[issue29926] time.sleep ignores _thread.interrupt_main()

Martin Panter added the comment: BTW pthread_kill was only added to Python 3.3, so is not available for Python 2. I’m not sure what the best fix for 2.7 would be. Maybe it’s not worth it, or maybe you can find another way to a signal to the user process or its main thread without interfering

[issue29965] MatchObject __getitem__() should support slicing and len

Martin Panter added the comment: We could change this to a documentation issue if you have any suggestions to make the documentation clearer. I understand the “time” module is mainly a wrapper or emulator of the OS’s own strptime, mktime, etc functions, which explains some of these quirks.

[issue29964] %z directive has no effect on the output of time.strptime

Paul Pinterits added the comment: No no, the docs are correct. This was definitely my mistake. I'm just trying to say that it's rather confusing how there's only partial support for time zones. When I saw that there is support for parsing the time zone offset, I assumed that the functions

[issue29964] %z directive has no effect on the output of time.strptime

Paul Pinterits added the comment: I see. You're right, it does make a difference. However, this behaviour is quite unexpected. Perhaps I just didn't read the docs carefully enough, but it wasn't clear to me that the time module had such half-baked support for time zones. An unsuspecting

[issue29964] %z directive has no effect on the output of time.strptime

Martin Panter added the comment: Are you sure? It works for me: >>> strptime("+0200", "%z").tm_gmtoff 7200 >>> strptime("+", "%z").tm_gmtoff 0 The "struct_time" class is documented as a named tuple, but the time zone offset is not one of the tuple elements, so isn’t going to be checked

[issue29964] %z directive has no effect on the output of time.strptime

New submission from Paul Pinterits: %z is listed as a supported directive in the python 3 documentation (https://docs.python.org/3.5/library/time.html#time.strftime), but it doesn't actually do anything: >>> from time import strptime >>> strptime('+', '%z') == strptime('+0200', '%z') True
