[docs] strptime %m not fully specified

Hi,
In section 8.1.7 of python 2.7 docs:

.../python-2.7.1-docs-html/library/datetime.html#strftime-strptime-behavior
and in section 7.1.8 in the 3.2 docs:

There is a table that purportedly tells the behavior of strftime() and
strptime().

The entry for month is like:

%m       Month as a decimal number [01,12].

This indicates that strptime will parse 2-digit months and raise an
exception
if the month string isn't 2-digit.

I think that a note should be added to indicate that strptime()
will accept a 1-digit month.

My .02 - thx!
