Parse date string on client side

Anvil Q&A

Thank you @stucork. I did check out the code, and I was surprised that it has this in it (around line 1500 or so):

@classmethod
def strptime(cls, date_string, format):
    'string, format -> new datetime parsed from a string (like time.strptime()).'
    from _strptime import _strptime
    # _strptime._strptime returns a two-element tuple.  The first
    # element is a time.struct_time object.  The second is the
    # microseconds (which are not defined for time.struct_time).
    struct, micros = _strptime(date_string, format)
    return cls(*(struct[0:6] + (micros,)))

So, I was confused. Am I missing something?
