Ralph,
The strftime call in calendar.py is a bit abusive, so it's not entirely
surprising to me that you're seeing problems. This test succeeds for me on
my Mandrake system. Can you run the test_calendar.py script manually and
submit a SF bug report (assign it to "montanaro")? A debugger traceback
would be helpful as well. Does the AIX version of strftime support %a, %A,
%b and %B formats?
Thx,
