[New-bugs-announce] [issue22246] add strptime(s, '%s')

[Akira Li]

New submission from Akira Li:

issue12750 makes strftime('%s') portable. For symmetry,
datetime.strptime(s, '%s') could be enabled to return local time as an
aware (to avoid loosing info) datetime object for a given integer
(seconds since the Epoch) timestamp string.

I've uploaded a prototype patch with a draft implementation, docs, and
tests.
