Ben, strptime() is not supported under Windows. It does say so in the
docs. :(

If you're interested, I've written a str2time() which I'm pretty much
satisfacted with, that does some nice RE processing and a couple crude
hacks to get what I want in a Python format. It extracts a date from
many general-format strings; if you need to, changing the RE will allow
you to parse even more formats. I can send you the source if you wish.

Also, a coworker of mine has found a strptime() written in Python (which
will work on Windows, too) that does all that the standard strptime()
does, and more.

Cheers
Mauro
