[issue23136] BUG in how _strptime() handles week 0

[Jim Carroll]

Jim Carroll added the comment:

I understand. Actually, raising an exception would be perfectly acceptable as well (possibly even more desirable). 

I too experimented with the c-lib strptime() and discovered the negative values of tm_mday. These results are good too -- as they clearly show the number of days before the new year.

I don't think it's important for the python version to return the same values, but it would be better for it to at least be predictable.
