Description

Hi,

I have a problem parsing a date time string like "22mei2010 02h04" (Dutch locale) even if I set the format as "%d%B%Y %Hh%M".

Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is named in the issue. Start by reproducing parsing of "22mei2010 02h04" under the Dutch locale with the supplied format, then trace the locale and format-handling entry points; done means the reported input is parsed correctly or the limitation is covered by a clear regression test.
