There was a problem hiding this comment.
In my opinion this does not quite solve the problem.
Why? It is still not clear what does it mean: you are either familiar with its API, or %H:%M won't
8000
help much.
But, I see that there are some similar PRs: https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/31761/files
It indicates that a problem is quite common.
I think you can start a discussion about it first: what and how it can be done in a useful, consistent, and simple manner.
A small example of what a full date and time would look like would help a lot of developers who may not realize that they should investigate `time.h`'s `strftime`, run `man strftime`, or click through a series of docs on the python docs before they get to the actual [definition here](https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#strftime-and-strptime-format-codes) which still doesn't have an obvious example of "what the heck format does this thing actually expect?".
