New submission from Edison Abahurire <abahedison at gmail.com>:
The docstring for strftime is:
```def strftime(self, fmt):
"Format using strftime()."
```
And that of strptime:
````def strptime(cls, date_string, format):
'string, format -> new datetime parsed from a string (like time.strptime()).'
````
I feel like both could use a better explanation for users who will access them using >>> help(datetime.strftime) and users using IDEs that provide doc-strings on-hover over a function.
