In the datetime documentation page https://docs.python.org/2/library/datetime.html In the directive sections, there are a few things that are not documented there. I really don't know all the possible directives, but the few examples I'm aware of, and how they seem to work for me: %D seems to behave as the default %x (None locale) %h seems to behave as %b

If you read the paragraph preceding the table of directives [1], you will see that "The full set of format codes supported varies across platforms, because Python calls the platform C library’s strftime() function, and platform variations are common. To see the full set of format codes supported on your platform, consult the strftime(3) documentation." [1] https://docs.python.org/2/library/datetime.html#strftime-and-strptime-behavior
