+particular number represents metres, miles, or mass. Naive objects are easy to
 understand and to work with, at the cost of ignoring some aspects of reality.
 
 For applications requiring aware objects, :class:`.datetime` and :class:`.time`
 objects have an optional time zone information attribute, :attr:`!tzinfo`, that
 can be set to an instance of a subclass of the abstract :class:`tzinfo` class.
 These :class:`tzinfo` objects capture information about the offset from UTC
-time, the time zone name, and whether Daylight Saving Time is in effect.  Note
-that only one concrete :class:`tzinfo` class, the :class:`timezone` class, is
-supplied by the :mod:`datetime` module.  The :class:`timezone` class can
-represent simple timezones with fixed offset from UTC, such as UTC itself or
-North American EST and EDT timezones.  Supporting timezones at deeper levels of

 .. versionadded:: 3.6
    ``%G``, ``%u`` and ``%V`` were added.
 
+Technical Detail
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+Broadly speaking, ``d.strftime(fmt)`` acts like the :mod:`time` module's
+``time.strftime(fmt, d.timetuple())`` although not all objects support a
+:meth:`timetuple` method.
+
+For the :meth:`datetime.strptime` class method, the default value is
+``1900-01-01T00:00:00.000``: any components not specified in the format string
+will be pulled from the default value. [#]_
+
+Using ``datetime.strptime(date_string, format)`` is equivalent to::
+
+  datetime(*(time.strptime(date_string, format)[0:6]))
+
+except when the format includes sub-second components or timezone offset
+information, which are supported in ``datetime.strptime`` but are discarded by
+``time.strptime``.
+
+For :class:`.time` objects, the format codes for year, month, and day should not
+be used, as :class:`time` objects have no such values. If they're used anyway,
+``1900`` is substituted for the year, and ``1`` for the month and day.
+
+For :class:`date` objects, the format codes for hours, minutes, seconds, and
+microseconds should not be used, as :class:`date` objects have no such
+values. If they're used anyway, ``0`` is substituted for them.
+
+For the same reason, handling of format strings containing Unicode code points
+that can't be represented in the charset of the current locale is also
+platform-dependent. On some platforms such code points are preserved intact in
+the output, while on others ``strftime`` may raise :exc:`UnicodeError` or return
+an empty string instead.
