[issue2490] Assertion failure in datetime.strftime()

[Pierre Metras]

Pierre Metras <genepi at sympatico.ca> added the comment:

There is an example of a long strftime pattern in the test.py file 
attached to that issue. Just change the length of the pattern to see 
that it works for smaller patterns in Python 2.5.

The pattern where it occured in my application is a Pango markup 
string used for localization:
"<markup><span lang=\"en\" font_desc=\"Sans,Monospace Bold 130\"><span 
foreground=\"#0000FF\">%H</span>:<span 
foreground=\"#00FF00\">%M</span>:<span 
foreground=\"#FF0000\">%S</span></span></markup>"
