Hello,

I'd like to see support for all of strftime(3) in
time.strftime() and time.strptime().

Thank you!

I'd be happy to look at this. Would you be able to detail what is
missing for me, so that it is easier for me to get to grips with what is
involved? I'm not intimately familiar with all of the functionality of
these modules, so if you are able to detail what is missing, then I can
more quickly look at a solution.

Thanks,
-T

(with similar links for strpfime).

These are reasons a patch may be worth while:

x difficult to work around using ctypes module with c library.

x help(strftime) advises the programmer to see the reference manual for
formatting codes.

x Searching bugs.python.org open issues for strftime has 31 hits, some
related.

I might start trawling through these issues, slowly ticking them off. Thanks
for the links.

time.strftime does support all of the platform strftime(3) format codes.
