#692 unsupported character in PyTime format string causes python 2.7.8 crash

[Bruce MacDonald]

To clarify: Python itself crashes.

Environment:
Python 2.7.8 (32-bit) on Windows 7
Running from console window with .py extension set in PATH_EXT environment variable.

import win32file

ftest = 'c:\\temp\\temp.txt'
print '\n' + ftest
handle_ftest = win32file.CreateFile(ftest,win32file.GENERIC_READ,0,None,win32file.OPEN_EXISTING,0,None)
py_ctime, py_atime, py_mtime = win32file.GetFileTime(handle_ftest)
#print py_ctime.Format('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S.%f') #<< unsupported millisecond format parameter causes python 2.7 to crash

print py_ctime.Format('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S') #<< otherwise works fine

handle_ftest.close

workaround:
ignore ms or use built-in datetime instead.

Cheers,
--bm

Confirmed behaviour identical in v2.7.9
