[jon at jaydee Development]$ cat is-strftime-broken.py
#!/usr/bin/env python
import subprocess
import time
date_process = subprocess.Popen(
    ("date", "+%x"), stdout=subprocess.PIPE)
from_date_command = date_process.communicate()[0].rstrip()
from_strftime = time.strftime("%x")
print "Date command returns %s, strftime returns %s" % (
    from_date_command, from_strftime )
[jon at jaydee Development]$ python ./is-strftime-broken.py
Date command returns 11/05/09, strftime returns 05/11/09
