Hello, There has to be a simple answer to this question.. I am using both Zope DateTime and strftime formats to display dates and times of various sizes and flavors.. so.. my question is this.. What is the preferred formatting string/method for displaying dates and times sans zeros. for example..as the standard "April 3, 2001" instead of "April 03, 2001" or times with the format (to give another example) "2:00 PM" instead of "02:00 PM" As one of my users put it.. "As a *very* minor point, I think that our web site's habit of listing dates before the 10th of each month with a leading 0 is uncouth; there must be a way to make Zope behave a little more intelligently." Thank you all for your help...This is stumping me. I've tried what seems like at least 50 different ways of displaying times.. I'm sorry to ask such a basic question... Thank you!
