There's a problem with strptime for a concrete date & time.
Specifically, for april 1st 2011, 2am, the hour gets shifted one hour ahead.
This happens only for this specific date and hour.

>>> print datetime.strptime('1/4/2011 02:00:00', '%d/%m/%Y %H:%M:%S')
2011-04-01 03:00:00

Works for me.

This is almost certainly a timezone issue, relating to daylight saving time. I'd be surprised if it happens only for this specific time.

What is the timezone setting for the machine on which you're running the code? What happens if you include a timezone in the time string?

Closing as there was no response. Probably this is fixed in 2.7 since we have done a lot of work for i18n.
