Then, I'm observing that the result for

Indeed, this looks like a strptime bug. For example:
<hansl>
a = strptime("1984", "%Y")
b = strftime(a, "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M")
print b
</hansl>
gives "1983-12-31 00:00", whereas
<python>
from datetime import datetime;
a = datetime.strptime("1984", "%Y");
b = datetime.strftime(a, "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M");
print(b);
</python>
gives "1984-01-01 00:00".
