python - Datetime's strftime formatting incorrectly -


i'm trying display date in brazilian locale dd/mm/yyyy. used datetime's srtftime("%x") function i'm getting mm/dd/yyyy. here's code used test it:

>>> import locale >>> import datetime dt >>> locale.getlocale() ('pt_br', 'cp1252') >>> today = dt.date.today() >>> today.strftime('%x') '10/07/13'

it should 07/10/13.

i can with:

>>> today.strftime('%d/%m/%y') '07/10/13'

but i'm wondering why didn't work in "correct" way.

when run locale.setlocale(category,locale) second parameter must recognizable, otherwise 'error: unsupported locale setting' error. can use:

print( locale.locale_alias)

to dictionary of proper locale aliases, not of these locales have available. on windows machine it's 'portuguese_brazil' , for

locale.setlocale(locale.lc_all,'portuguese_brazil') today = dt.date.today() today.strftime('%x') print(today)

output:

2013-10-07

c++ - Correct method for redrawing a layered window -

i have window created ws_ex_layered window style. drawing onto memory bitmap using gdi+, , using updatelayeredwindow update graphical content of layered window. intend use window main window of application, require redraw frequently. seeing layered windows not receive wm_paint windows message [?] , need come appropriate method re-drawing window. optimisation not essential , it's nice have cake , eat too. therefore, in search of "correct" method use. here thoughts far: i guess it's idea render onto off-screen bitmap before bitblt ing or similar. 60 frames rendered per second should (more than?) enough (but how compare other applications' frame rates?). possible solutions: use settimer send wm_timer message on regular basis. useful because through specifying time-out value, can achieve desired frames per second, without requirement measure duration "frame" takes rendered. would cause input or other lags due frequency , speed of m...
