Please forgive if I'm stating the obvious, but the failing tests
are the ones that should be changed, not the ones that are
"polluting" the environment.

When I was working on test_warnings.py, I had found that other
tests had set warning filters without clearing them.  Rather than
alter the polluters, I fixed test_warnings so it either worked with
existing filters or temporarily set its own -- that way the test would
work in any combination with other tests.  In a way, the polluters
were helpful because they helped flag an unnecessary state
dependency in the test_suite.

So if  test_strptime is going to be locale dependent, it should 
temporarily set what it expects to find.
