It's so easy that the patch isn't a one-liner and it seems to still have
bugs wrt. intended behaviour.

This isn't an either/or situation. We can have both from_iso_week() and
Easter() if both are useful.
And I don't get this "side of the pond" argument. Python is not meant
only for the American public, that's why all strings are now unicode.
