[Zope] strftime() vs. fmt()

msg_display_format="%d/%m/%Y - %H:%M:%S"

This works:

<dtml-var
"mysqtime2zopetime_py('20010216172030').strftime(msg_display_format)">
==> 16/02/2001 - 17:20:30

This works:

<dtml-var "mysqtime2zopetime_py('20010216172030')" fmt="%d/%m/%Y -
%H:%M:%S">
==> 16/02/2001 - 17:20:30


This does NOT work:
<dtml-var "mysqtime2zopetime_py('20010216172030')" fmt=msg_display_format>


I solved my problems by switching from fmt() to strftime(). Perhaps that
helps other people.
But what if I can't use strftime() and have to rely on fmt()?
