mxDateTime: does strptime not exist?

[Ruediger Maehl]

Hi,

I am trying to convert a string expression into a
DateTime object and found the strptime constructor
in the docs of mxDateTime. But it throws the
following error (and does not show strptime as
available method in PythonWin's Interactive
Window).

>>> import DateTime
>>> a = "09:49"
>>> f = "%H:%M"
>>> dt = DateTime.strptime(a, f)
Traceback (innermost last):
  File "<interactive input>", line 1, in ?
AttributeError: strptime

Any hints?
