Ok, I checked it out, even though it's not my primary concern.

datetime the class in the datetime module has strftime but no strptime

>>> datetime.datetime.strftime
<method 'strftime' of 'datetime.date' objects>
>>> datetime.datetime.strptime
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
AttributeError: type object 'datetime.datetime' has no attribute
'strptime'

So... I do this sort of thing :

  t1tmp = time.strptime(sometext,timeformat)
  t1 = datetime.datetime(*t1tmp[0:6])
