[Python-Dev] More joy with test_strptime

I assume you meant I should insert that in test_strptime.py.  Doesn't
do any good as-is, because the regrtest framework eats stdout.  I
changed it to print to stderr instead.

Running all the tests, this gets displayed:

test_strptime
***(None, None) == (None, None) ?
test test_strptime failed -- Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Code\python\lib\test\test_strptime.py", line 293, in
test_bad_timezone
    self.failUnlessEqual(tz_value, -1)
AssertionError: 0 != -1

Alas, the same thing is displayed when it passes (run in isolation):

test_strptime
***(None, None) == (None, None) ?
1 test OK.
