To prevent code duplication, I patched _strptime to use datetime's date
object to do Julian day, Gregorian, and day of the week calculations.
Patch also includes new regression tests to test results and the
calculation gets triggered.
Very minor comment changes and the contact email are also changed.
Patch from Brett Cannon:
First, the 'y' directive now handles [00, 68] as a suffix for the
21st century while [69, 99] is treated as the suffix for the 20th
century (this is for Open Group compatibility).
strptime now returns default values that make it a valid date ...
the ability to pass in a regex object to use instead of a format
string (and the inverse ability to have strptime return a regex object)
has been removed. This is in preparation for a future patch that will
add some caching internally to get a speed boost.
to fix it. (It fails when the day of the month is a 1-digit number,
because %c produces space+digit there, while strptime seems to expect
zero+digit somehow.)
localtime, which in -0400 is 12 noon GMT. The bug boiled down to
broken conversion of 12 PM to hour 12 for the '%I %p' format string.
Added a test for this specific condition: Strptime12AMPMTests. Fix to
_strptime.py coming momentarily.
