Elena's issue13305.diff:

"Zero padding can be forced on some platforms by using e.g. ``%4Y``"

Sorry, I still doesn't understand the change. %4Y doesn't work with strptime() and it only work with strftime() on very few platforms.

Can you explain when %4Y should be used? strftime() and/or strptime()? Which platform?

To me, it looks wrong to document %4Y since it almost never works...
