Hello,

I was running test_datetime.py and it failed on OpenBSD.
I have tested with Python 2.7, Python 3.2 and Python 3.3.

Python 2.7:
test_datetime.py: ok
test_srtftime.py: failed (see attached file: test_strftime_python27.log)

Have a lot of:
Conflict for nonstandard '%3y' format (year without century rendered using fieldwidth):
  Expected 011, but got 3y

Python 3.3:
test_datetime.py: failed (see attached file: test_datetime_python33.log)
Same output than Python 3.2.

test_strftime.py: failed (see attached file: test_strftime_python33.log)
Same output than Python 3.2.


I write a small program in C to verify strftime, and it seems to correcly works:
source:
(void)strftime(buf, sizeof(buf) - 1, "%H:%M:%S %%Z=%Z %%z=%z", localtime(&startt));
printf("%s\n", buf);
buf[0] = '\0';
(void)strftime(buf, sizeof(buf) - 1, "07:47:00 %Z=EST %z=-0500", localtime(&startt));
printf("%s\n", buf);

run:
01:00:00 %Z=CET %z=+0100
07:47:00 CET=EST +0100=-0500



Is my test correct ? Don't hesitate if you need more informations.

Thanks for your help, 

Remi.
