[issue6641] datetime.strptime doesn't support %z format ?

[Alexander Belopolsky]

Alexander Belopolsky <belopolsky at users.sourceforge.net> added the comment:

Reopening because the patch introduced a regression with respect to datetime subclasses:


>>> class DT(datetime): pass
... 
>>> DT.strptime('', '')
datetime.datetime(1900, 1, 1, 0, 0)


a DT instance expected.  Need tests covering subclasses.

----------
stage: committed/rejected -> unit test needed
status: closed -> open
