Category: Python Library Group: Python 2.3 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Matthew Sherborne (matiu)

Summary: strftime ignores date format on winxp
Initial Comment: On Windows XP in the control panel set your country to "New Zealand".
This gives a short date format of 'dd-mm-yy'
Now in python:
from time import * print strftime('%c', localtime) 02/17/04 09:15:10 print strftime('%x', localtime())
02/17/04
This is giving the date in the format 'mm-dd-yy' (American).
Could it be to do with the 'locale.nl_langinfo' bieng unavailable in xp?

This is a Windows C library bug and nothing to do with our end. Since time.strftime is just a wrapper around ISO C's strftime function we just pass in the arguments and then pass them back out without fiddling with anything.
So unless there is some compiler setting that needs to be set to be more locale-sensitive (doubt it, but since I don't have a Windows box I have no way of knowing; this is why I am unassigning this from myself) this is probably invalid and Microsoft's fault.

Sorry, code should be:
from time import * print strftime('%c', localtime()) 02/17/04 09:15:10 print strftime('%x', localtime())
02/17/04
