MacPython would benefit as well: it also has strftime() but not 
strptime(). There's currently a pure-python implementation of strptime() 
in the Contrib folder, but Brett's solution would better (the Contrib 
strptime can't be incorporated because it's under GPL license, and the 
automatic callout to Python would be really nice as it makes this 
user-invisible).
