The thing is, Python doesn't invent those functions: it merely wraps them.
If the platform doesn't have strptime, then Python won't either. Choose an
strptime-less platform, you're strptime-ly screwed.

I think there are long terms plan to supply a pure Python substitute, but
it hasn't happened yet.
