Why is '00:45' not a problem for .lstrip('0')? ;-)

Why should it be?

Well, ':45' is not really valid. :-)

True! So why does it work? ^^

It is a mystery. ;-P

Because 00:* is transformed into 12:* before call to lstrip('0'), so there is no problem (no 0s to lstrip): <pre class='brush: python'>>>> to('%I:%M %p', from_('00:45', '%H:%M')) '12:45 AM' >>> </pre>

may be '%-I:%M %p' instead of lstrip('0')?

Too complicated. :-)
