[issue23134] datetime.strptime at the turn of the year

[Tomasz Ryczkowski]

New submission from Tomasz Ryczkowski:

I've found wrong behaviour datetime.strptim function at the turn of the year.

I've created datetime object base on the week number (%W), year (%Y) and day of week (%w). The date for Tuesday in the first week in 2015 is wrong:

>>> from datetime import datetime
>>> datetime.strptime('%s %s %s' % (0, 2015, 1), '%W %Y %w').date()
datetime.date(2014, 12, 29) # OK

>>> datetime.strptime('%s %s %s' % (0, 2015, 2), '%W %Y %w').date()
datetime.date(2015, 1, 1) # WRONG !!!

>>> datetime.strptime('%s %s %s' % (0, 2015, 3), '%W %Y %w').date()
datetime.date(2014, 12, 31) # OK

>>> datetime.strptime('%s %s %s' % (0, 2015, 4), '%W %Y %w').date()
datetime.date(2015, 1, 1) # OK

>>> datetime.strptime('%s %s %s' % (0, 2015, 5), '%W %Y %w').date()
datetime.date(2015, 1, 2) # OK

>>> datetime.strptime('%s %s %s' % (0, 2015, 6), '%W %Y %w').date()
datetime.date(2015, 1, 3) # OK

>>> datetime.strptime('%s %s %s' % (0, 2015, 0), '%W %Y %w').date()
datetime.date(2015, 1, 4) # OK

The same error exists in another years.
