Question 1:
How can I parse date strings into tuples returned by localtime().
Date strings are in in some of the formats listed below.
'Wed, 20 Feb 2002 09:25:29 EET'
'Wed, Feb 20 2002 00:44:38 -0800'
'Wed, 20 Feb 2002 10:09:27 -0500 (EST)'
Question 2:
Why doesn't this work?
>>> time.strptime('Wed, 20 Feb 2002 09:25:29 EET',
"%a, %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S %Z")
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<pyshell#5>", line 1, in ?
time.strptime('Wed, 20 Feb 2002 09:25:29 EET', "%a, %d %b %Y
%H:%M:%S %Z")
ValueError: unconverted data remains: 'EET'
