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.
