automatic date in template using strftime() not working

David,

Looks like something goes wrong with the locale settings. Is your computer
interface configured for English, or another language?

Btw. zim uses python 2, probably you it installed in parallel to python 3,
else zim would not run at all.

Regards,

Jaap
