Format strings are platform specific and cause 500 errors on Windows #48

I've forked the project on Windows and I get "ValueError: Invalid format string" on every page. The hypens in the format strings to trim leading 0's are platform specifiic. It appears that the python interpreter calls the C strftime on your platform, so it depends on your C libraries. More details on this StackOverflow page.
