it turned out - it works even without .upper()

Actually that's an interesting case. The code has been written regarding <a href="https://docs.python.org/3.7/library/datetime.html#strftime-and-strptime-behavior">strftime() and strptime() Behavior</a>: <pre class='brush: python'>%p</pre> is "Locale’s equivalent of either AM or PM" with an example "AM, PM (enUS); am, pm (deDE)". So, <pre class='brush: python'>upper</pre> has been added considering <pre class='brush: python'>en_US</pre> locale is used. But turned out, "am, pm" doesn't used in deDE locale at all and enUS locale actualle takes care about AM/PM written in lower case.
