Now you cannot get milli (micro) seconds using strftime. It should be fixed.

AFAIK %f should be the right pattern for this

You are talking about time.strftime, I presume. datetime supports %f. time.strftime does not, because it wraps the system strftime, and that does not support %f (at least not on my linux system).
