No Zero Padding with strftime()
One of the best features of Python is that it is platform independent. You can write code on Linux, Windows, and MacOS and it works on all three platforms with no problems…mostly.
Admittedly there are some issues. Most of these are from known operating system differences when accessing system subprocesses or dealing with various local quirks of file systems and security schemes. These kinds of problems are expected. However, there are some lesser known problems that only emerge in very specific circumstances. One of these is controlling zero padding with the strftime() function in Python’s datetime module.
