So, we just need to do this? Can I make a pull request for that?

-_strptime._strptime_time("10", "%d")
+_strptime._strptime_time("10 2004", "%d %Y")

[Eclips4]

Yes, that's looks good to me. I'm dislike the approach of catching DeprecationWarning because in future versions it can raise an exception.

[Eclips4]

However, there's also a similar warning in the test_datetime:

That's caused by the tests of #70647 (resolved):

cpython/Lib/test/datetimetester.py

Lines 2796 to 2807 in 22b25d1

	def test_strptime_leap_year(self):
	# GH-70647: warns if parsing a format with a day and no year.
	with self.assertRaises(ValueError):
	# The existing behavior that GH-70647 seeks to change.
	self.theclass.strptime('02-29', '%m-%d')
	with self.assertWarnsRegex(DeprecationWarning,
	r'.*day of month without a year.*'):
	self.theclass.strptime('03-14.159265', '%m-%d.%f')
	with self._assertNotWarns(DeprecationWarning):
	self.theclass.strptime('20-03-14.159265', '%y-%m-%d.%f')
	with self._assertNotWarns(DeprecationWarning):
	self.theclass.strptime('02-29,2024', '%m-%d,%Y')

And we also have these tests that will still raise a DeprecationWarning (resolved):

cpython/Lib/test/test_strptime.py

Lines 500 to 506 in 22b25d1

	def test_feb29_on_leap_year_without_year(self):
	time.strptime("Feb 29", "%b %d")
	def test_mar1_comes_after_feb29_even_when_omitting_the_year(self):
	self.assertLess(
	time.strptime("Feb 29", "%b %d"),
	time.strptime("Mar 1", "%b %d"))

Those will have to be removed in 3.15.

See commit 33ee5cb. Please follow the existing practice for how to deal with deprecation warnings in tests. See Greg's commit for inspiration. There also test.support.warnings_helper.ignore_warnings¹.

1. git grep ignore_warnings Lib/test for inspiration. ↩

[nineteendo]

Yeah, test.support.warnings_helper.ignore_warnings() works here. (It even works on tests checking for deprecation warnings).
I've added it to the functions were necessary, and updated the others to not use the deprecated behaviour.

Could someone review my pull request? I've waited exactly one month. In a week I'll ask on Discourse.

[nineteendo]

@Eclips4 can you review this, or should I ask on Discourse right away? erlend-aasland said he's not going to review this.

@Eclips4 can you review this, or should I ask on Discourse right away? erlend-aasland said he's not going to review this.

Will do it later today. Please note that before merging, we should also get a review from Greg or Paul.

[nineteendo]

Even after waiting one month? But if they decide to review it now, that would be appreciated.
