[IronPython] Bug in time.strptime?

[Mike Raath]

Just wondering if this post slipped in under the radar - can anyone please
confirm whether this is a bug, or if I could be using IronPython differently
to achieve the same thing?

I need to be able to interpret non-standard dates (the format of which I
can't dictate) and in CPython this is possible using the code below.

Thanks,
Mike

I'm getting an exception in IronPython which I don't get in CPython.
