Tal Einat added the comment: I agree with Gus, such new wording would be great. Gus, would you like to make a PR? I'd split the comparison into a second paragraph, and avoid the word "better", instead using something like "but datetime.strptime() also retains both microseconds and timezone

Gus Goulart added the comment: As far as I can see, every time something changes on datetime.strptime(), it will invalidate that section of the documentation. On the other hand, I believe the comparison with datetime(*(time.strptime(date_string, format)[0:6])" is interesting and valuable to

Tal Einat added the comment: At least with Python 3.7.0, the equivalence is not complete: datetime.strptime() is better, since it retains both microseconds and timezone data. See examples below. >>> from datetime import datetime, timezone >>> import time >>> s =

New submission from Nicholas Colclasure: The datetime.datetime.strptime documentation states that it is equivalent to datetime(*(time.strptime(date_string, format)[0:6])), but the time.struct_time returned by time.strptime does not include microseconds, implying that datetime's strptime would
