[doc string of strptime.py removed]
Hmm, I have the same module, but the .py file I have contains the full
source:
begin strptime.py
""" strptime version 1.3, Time-stamp: <96/09/23 21:22:24 flognat>
The reverse of strftime.

And here comes the documentation:
Throw a string and a format specification at strptime and if everything
is ok you will get a tuple containing 9 items that are compatible with
pythons time-module.
interface:
strptime(inputstring, formatstring)
Little errorchecking... so you'd better now what you are doing.
example:
from strptime import *
mktime(strptime("26/6 1973", "%d/%m %Y"))
And voila you have the second when the author of this function was born.
The supported format identifiers are:
%a weekday in short text-form, e.g. Mon
%A weekday in long text-form, e.g. Monday
%b month in short text-form, e.g. Jul
%B month in long text-form e.g. July
%c the format specified by DateAndTimeRepresentation
%d the day in month in numeric form, e.g. 24
%H hour in 24 hour form
%j julian day (day of year)
%m month in numeric format
%M minute
%S second
%T Time in '%H:%M:%S'-format
%w weekday, 0=monday
%x date in format represented by DateRepresentation
%X time in format represented by TimeRepresentation
%y year in short form
%Y year in long form
%% %-sign
I have done some thinking here (*REALLY*) and it is possible to configure
this module so it uses other languages by adding their names to the
dictionaries first in the file, and setting the variable LANGUAGE.
For your exercise I have inserted the swedish names ;-)
The lfind, name, complex, numbers and parse functions are for internal
use, called by strptime.
Uh.. oh yeah.. if you want to get in touch with me.. I am reachable
at flognat at fukt.hk-r.se, the newest version of this file can probably
be found somewhere close to http://www.fukt.hk-r.se/~flognat
