Maybe rather than spending the effort maintaining a legacy API such as strftime, someone could look into implementing localized date formatting as defined by recent Unicode standards: http://unicode.org/reports/tr35/#Date_Format_Patterns Apparently there is a free implementation for Python out there: http://babel.edgewall.org/wiki/Documentation/dates.html#pattern-syntax See also msg107236 on issue #8913.
