@hamedf62 could you please share a code snippet of the mentioned issue, and make it clear how the output is different than the expectation?

Also please include your runtime information (system, exact Python version and jdatetime version).

import locale import jdatetime locale.setlocale(locale.LC_ALL, "fa_IR") 'fa_IR' jdatetime.datetime.now().strftime("%a, %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S") 'Thu, 30 Mor 1399 11:26:38'

i expected it returns in unicode in Farsi

@hamedf62 Hi 👋

That's strange, the test passes in python 3.7(win).

Could you clone the repo and run the unit test in your machine and give me the output?

git clone <repo>
cd <repo>
python.exe t/test.py

@slashmili greetings! miss you for long time... wish all going well with you!

actually you right and all related to my locale to get Farsi charachters. all working perfectly with Jdatetime

also there is another issue with converting two digit year to jdatetime format. kindly check below script:

jdatetime.datetime.strptime('99',"%y")

it return ValueError.

have fun
