[New-bugs-announce] [issue27741] datetime.datetime.strptime functionality description incorrect

[Nicholas Colclasure]

New submission from Nicholas Colclasure:

The datetime.datetime.strptime documentation states that it is equivalent to datetime(*(time.strptime(date_string, format)[0:6])), but the time.struct_time returned by time.strptime does not include microseconds, implying that datetime's strptime would also not include microseconds, but testing of the functions shows that it does include them.

Removing the false statement of equivalence would be enough to remove this bug from the documentation.
