The answer is right there: datetime.datetime has method strptime in
python 2.5 but which was not available in 2.4. A quick look into the
library reference confirms this:

----------------------------------------------------------------------
strptime(  	date_string, format)
	Return a datetime corresponding to date_string, parsed according to format.
    This is equivalent to datetime(*(time.strptime(date_string, format)[0:6])).
    ValueError is raised if the date_string and format can't be parsed by
    time.strptime() or if it returns a value which isn't a time tuple.

    New in version 2.5.
