[Ironpython-users] IronPython 2.7.0 vs 2.7.5

[Pawel Jasinski]

hi,

prior to 2.7.5, the strptime had a non standard fallback. If a format
didn't match, it tried to guess format.
This is not what standard lib from cpython does. If the string can not be
converted using format, it fails.

In you case %m translates to zero padded month decimal, 01 for January
Try %b instead.
