 From http://docs.python.org/lib/node252.html

"""The full set of format codes supported varies across platforms, 
because Python calls the platform C library's strftime() function, and 
platform variations are common."""

So I suggest that it's a platform issue, not a Python version issue. FWIW:

Python 2.4.1 (#2, Mar 31 2005, 00:05:10)
[GCC 3.3 20030304 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 1666)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
 >>> import time
 >>> time.strftime("%T")
'22:50:49'
 >>> time.strftime("%X")
'22:50:59'
