Summary: test_strptime fails on the Mac

Initial Comment:
test_strptime fails for MacPython-OS9. It appears to be an error in the test itself, but it could be this error is triggered only on the Mac (because it doesn't have a builtin strptime() function but uses the pure Python strptime implementation). Here is the first stacktrace from the test (a lot of very similar ones follow):
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "Moes:SWdev:Jack:MacPython:Lib:test:test_strptime.py", line 183, in test_compile
    compiled = self.time_re.compile("%%%s"% directive)
  File "Moes:SWdev:Jack:MacPython:Lib:_strptime.py", line 394, in compile
    return re_compile(self.pattern(format), IGNORECASE)
  File "Moes:SWdev:Jack:MacPython:Lib:sre.py", line 179, in compile
    return _compile(pattern, flags)
  File "Moes:SWdev:Jack:MacPython:Lib:sre.py", line 229, in _compile
    raise error, v # invalid expression
error: redefinition of group name 'Z' as group 2; was group 1
