[Ironpython-users] IronPython 2.7.0 vs 2.7.5

[Djordje Spasic]

Thank you for the quick response Pawel!

So I need to change:

import timedate = "JAN/30/2017"date_timeStruct = time.strptime(date,"%m/%d/%Y")
To:

import timedate = "JAN/30/2017"date_timeStruct = time.strptime(date,"%b/%d/%Y")
Did I understand that correctly?

And time.strptime(date,"%b/%d/%Y") will work on both IronPython 2.7.0 and IronPython 2.7.5?
It is essential for me to have a solution which will work on both versions.

 hi,

prior to 2.7.5, the strptime had a non standard fallback. If a format didn't match, it tried to guess format.
This is not what standard lib from cpython does. If the string can not be converted using format, it fails.

In you case %m translates to zero padded month decimal, 01 for January
Try %b instead.

Hello,

I am using Rhino 5, and Rhino WIP applications shipped with IronPython 2.7.0 and 2.7.5 version respectively.
I have an issue with time.strptime function.
The following code works perfectly on IronPython 2.7.0:
import timedate = "JAN/30/2017"date_timeStruct = time.strptime(date,"%m/%d/%Y")

Once IronPython 2.7.5 is installed, it fails with this error message on the third line:

Runtime error (ValueErrorException): time data does not match format
data=JAN/30/2017, fmt=%m/%d/%Y, to: M'/'d'/'yyyy


Is there a way of making the time.strptime function work on both 2.7.0 and 2.7.5 versions?

I would appreciate any kind of reply.

Thank you in advance.
