Python timezone ‘%z’ directive for datetime.strptime() not available

by

strptime() is implemented in pure Python. Unlike strftime(); it [which directives are supported] doesn’t depend on platform. %z is supported since Python 3.2:

>>> from datetime import datetime
>>> datetime.strptime('24/Aug/2014:17:57:26 +0200', '%d/%b/%Y:%H:%M:%S %z')
datetime.datetime(2014, 8, 24, 17, 57, 26, tzinfo=datetime.timezone(datetime.timedelta(0, 7200)))

how to parse Email time zone indicator using strptime() without being aware of locale time?

There is no concrete timezone implementation in Python 2.7. You could easily implement the UTC offset parsing, see How to parse dates with -0400 timezone string in python?
