I've had this conversation before - *apparently* the time module is just
a layer above the c library with all the functions. So the exact
functions that are available depends on the C-library for the
underlying platform.
In our case the PocketPC C-library doesn't have the strftime
function..... so it isn't available from PythonCE........
Oh well........
