format parse err about insertdate HOT 6 CLOSED

Yeah, %e is not supported in Python's strftime implementation. Check the docs here: http://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#strftime-strptime-behavior

It seems that strfti.me and Python differ here. It doesn't seem like "day of the month without zero-padding" is supported though, which is kind of weird because that's pretty common I'd say.

Instead of '%e' one could use '%d'.

Not exacly the same, but %Z displays blank while %z shows +0100 here in Copenhagen

From the link you posted above: %Z -> Time zone name (empty string if the object is naive).

What is 'naive' suppose to mean?

Yes, %Z is blank when you don't set a timezone for your machine in the settings. This is because I had numerous unicode problems with trying to retrieve the locale's timezone name and it's different from the representations you get when using pytz.

For me, it would always give "Mitteleuropäische Sommerzeit" for CEST for example. The latter is better in every aspect, so I decided to skip supporting %Z for the default "local" timezone and let users specify their own.

No idea what 'naive' means though.

Thanks, I guess you could safely close this issue.

Good luck!
