Hi,
Say you are working with a CSV file generated by a legacy mainframe which
stores dates in the format 'ddMMMyy' e.g. ,16JUN05,
Extracting the individual date parts is easy enough, but is there a "neat"
way of converting the string 'JUN' into the integer 6. Obviously it would be
easy enough to write a function for this, but is there a simpler way, say,
with int.Parse or something similar.
Just curious... :-)

I'm developing a web-application where the user sometimes has to enter
dates in plain text, allthough a format may be provided to give clues.
On the server side this piece of text has to be parsed into a datetime
python-object. Does anybody have any pointers on this?
Besides the actual parsing, my main concern is the different locale
date formats and how to be able to parse those strange us-like
"month/day/year" compared to the clever...

I want to parse a date string, for example '2005-09-23', and since I haven't
done this before I would like to ask what is the best way to do it.
I've looked around and the dateutil seems to be what most people use, but
unfortunately I only get an empty file when I try to download it. I also
tried the standard modules and ended up with this
import datetime
from time import strptime

I know that given a FormatString and a DateTime you can use
DateTime.ToString(...) to convert the DateTime to a String. My question is
how can you turn that around? Given a String and a FormatString, how can
you convert the String back to a DateTime? DateTime.Parse(...) doesn't use
the FormatString.
Now admitedly, if the format string is just "MM", it can't be done. But if
the format string is "yyyyMMdd", or "ddMMMyyyy hhmmsst", it...

HI,
i have string in format
dd/mm/yyyyy hh:mm:ss
and giving this as an input to DateTime.Parse gives a string was not
recognized as a valid date time format string error.
how do i make the parse method to accept formating that i need.
if i do console.writeLine DateTime.Now.ToString it gives the format:
YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS
TIA, Z.

Hi,
I want to parse strings containing date-time, which look like the
following:
"Mon Dec 19 11:06:12:333 CET 2005"
That's a problem for strptime it seems, b/c I cannot find any
format-spec for the milliseconds-part in here. (I'm also not sure about
the validity of the tz part, but ...)

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp
