4. [New comment] time.strptime works when it shouldn't
http://ironpython.codeplex.com/workitem/30047
User jdhardy has commented on the issue:

"<p>Agreed, it should fail on exact parse.</p>"-----------------

5. [New comment] struct doesn't support format string of type bytes
http://ironpython.codeplex.com/workitem/34682
User jdhardy has commented on the issue:

"<p>I added a comment to your change; there's an easier way to do it.</p><p>Can you add a test under Languages/IronPython/Tests as well? You can use [Languages/IronPython/Tests/test_struct_threadsafe.py](https://github.com/IronLanguages/main/blob/master/Languages/IronPython/Tests/test_struct_threadsafe.py) as an example.</p>"-----------------

6. [New comment] Quoted IRONPYTHONPATH causes error with "import"
http://ironpython.codeplex.com/workitem/34687
User jdhardy has commented on the issue:

"<p>`import sys` loads a built-in module, so it never looks at IRONPYTHONPATH. Not accepting quotes is just a bug.</p>"-----------------

7. [New comment] Include some way to discover IronPython path
http://ironpython.codeplex.com/workitem/34692
User jdhardy has commented on the issue:

"<p>Check HKLM\SOFTWARE\IronPython\2.7\InstallPath; that should have what you need.</p>"-----------------

8. [New comment] System.Decimal string.format issue
http://ironpython.codeplex.com/workitem/34710
User jdhardy has commented on the issue:

"<p>Can you try converting to a `decimal.Decimal` first?</p><p>    d = decimal.Decimal(System.Decimal(f))</p><p>Handling System.Decimal directly is preferable but this might at least give you a workaround.</p>"-----------------

9. [New comment] System.Decimal string.format issue
http://ironpython.codeplex.com/workitem/34710
User davcar has commented on the issue:

"<p>Converting it as you suggested works. However I am actually receiving a lot of .Net decimal types from a .Net method I am calling. I was hoping not to have to do any extra conversions for each. Currently to avoid that, I am doing the conversion to a double inside the .Net method which works but not really great for using as money.</p>"-----------------

10. [New comment] System.Decimal string.format issue
http://ironpython.codeplex.com/workitem/34710
User davcar has commented on the issue:

"<p>By the way, I am using IronPython as a way to let the user store scripts in the database to do some simple summary reporting with.</p>"
