[issue34158] Documentation of datetime '%z' format code is odd
New submission from Christophe Nanteuil <christophe.nanteuil@gmail.com>: In § 8.1.8. "strftime() and strptime() Behavior", the documentation states that "%z" format code is a string of the form '±HHMM[SS[.uuuuuu]]' where uuuuuu is a 2-digit string giving the number of UTC offset microseconds. I think it's a 6-digit string. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation files: datetime.rst.patch keywords: patch messages: 321968 nosy: Christophe Nanteuil, docs@python priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Documentation of datetime '%z' format code is odd versions: Python 3.7 Added file: https://bugs.python.org/file47704/datetime.rst.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue34158> _______________________________________

Relevant format string at https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/2896/files#diff-25e2d173c84057d069b78.... Relevant test case with 6-digit string for microsecond : https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/2896/files#diff-acc40bec51c7de832de33.... Table at https://docs.python.org/3.7/library/datetime.html#strftime-and-strptime-beha... could also be updated with microseconds being optional in the second column %z | UTC offset in the form ±HHMM[SS] (empty string if the object is naive). | (empty), +0000, -0400, +1030 You can raise a GitHub PR for the same.

Martin Panter <vadmium+py@gmail.com> added the comment: FWIW more oddities with this paragraph could be fixed by: * removing the first “and” from “HH is . . ., [and] MM is . . ., SS is . . . and uuuuuu is”, * changing the condition for omitting “uuuuuu” from “a whole number of [minutes]” to “seconds”, and * changing “the [SS parts are] omitted” to singular “SS part is”. ---------- nosy: +martin.panter _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue34158> _______________________________________
