I've experiencing a very strange error when using strptime for populating a 'formal' form. If I run the code segment with strptime in ipython it can succesfully transform '12-10-06' with '%d-%m-%Y' into a time tuple! With nevow I get the following exception: ---------------------------------------------------------- 2006/11/01 01:18 W. Europe Standard Time [-] Log opened. 2006/11/01 01:18 W.
