Bug in strptime in Python 2.3.3

[Glawster]

I reported this in an earlier thread and Holger Joukl kindly supplied
me with a patch I could apply to _strptime.py

I still think there is something missing in the way %w is handled
(note: it is lower case for weekday)

I'd like to know what is missing in _strptime.py for %w handling
between pre-python 2.3 and post 2.3?

I'd also like to know how I can get this into a new release as a
solution, I am willing to do this if someone can point me in the right
direction. Even better if someone "owns" this routine already and will
take it on for us.

To recap:-
