Can you give us the *exact* code you were using?

This should work:

$ python
Python 2.3b1+ (#12, May 25 2003, 11:55:29)
[GCC 2.96 20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.3 2.96-110)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
  0 >>> import time
  1 >>> time.strptime("Mon Nov 25 21:32:11 2002", "%a %b %d %H:%M:%S %Y")
(2002, 11, 25, 21, 32, 11, 0, 329, -1)

yours,
Gerrit.
