[issue35469] [2.7] time.asctime() regression

[Antti Haapala]

Antti Haapala <antti at haapala.name> added the comment:

C11 specifies the format used by asctime as being exactly 

    "%.3s %.3s%3d %.2d:%.2d:%.2d %d\n",

which matches the *new* output with space padding, less the newline.

As always, Microsoft got it wrong: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/c-runtime-library/reference/asctime-wasctime?view=vs-2017 - even if deliberately saying 1-31 instead of 01-31 in the table.
