[IronPython] datetime.strptime is missing in IronPython?

[Vernon Cole]

The issue tracker for CPython  [if I read it correctly] lists
datetime.strptime as a new feature to be supported in python 2.7 and
3.2. It is not documented in the Python 2.6 manual.  The current way
of doing it seems to be:

>>> import datetime
>>> import time
>>> d = datetime(*(time.strptime(date_string, format)[0:6]))

I have not tested that, I just cut it out of the issue tracker.

And, Yes, you are running an obsolete version of IronPython. You
should upgrade to 2.6. But that will not fix your problem, since
datetime.strptime is not present in the current version, either.
