Pure Python strptime implementation by Brett Cannon. See SF patch 474274.

Also adds tests.

+"""Strptime-related classes and functions.
+
+CLASSES:
+    LocaleTime -- Discovers and/or stores locale-specific time information
+    TimeRE -- Creates regexes for pattern matching string of text containing 
+                time information as is returned by time.strftime()
+
+FUNCTIONS:
+    firstjulian -- Calculates the Julian date up to the first of the specified
+                    year
+    gregorian -- Calculates the Gregorian date based on the Julian day and
+                    year
+    julianday -- Calculates the Julian day since the first of the year based 
+                    on the Gregorian date
+    dayofweek -- Calculates the day of the week from the Gregorian date.
+    strptime -- Calculates the time struct represented by the passed-in string
+
+Requires Python 2.2.1 or higher.
+Can be used in Python 2.2 if the following line is added:
