Agreed. But if we move the import of the _strptime module to do it once when "time" is imported, we enhance the "least surprise" situation (and has a marginal performance benefit of not trying to import it again every time.strptime() call). And even solves this bug, which does not hurt enaybody, ;) Regards, -- .
