Python implementation of strptime().

+""" strptime version 1.3, Time-stamp: <96/09/23 21:22:24 flognat>
+               The reverse of strftime.

+
+    And here comes the documentation:
+
+    Throw a string and a format specification at strptime and if everything
+    is ok you will get a tuple containing 9 items that are compatible with
+    pythons time-module.
+
+    interface:
+       strptime(inputstring, formatstring)
+
+       Little errorchecking... so you'd better know what you are doing.
+
+    example:
+       from strptime import *
+       mktime(strptime("26/6 1973", "%d/%m %Y"))
+
+    And voila you have the second when the author of this function was born.
+
+    The supported format identifiers are:
+        %a weekday in short text-form, e.g. Mon
+	%A weekday in long text-form, e.g. Monday
+	%b month in short text-form, e.g. Jul
+	%B month in long text-form e.g. July
+	%c the format specified by DateAndTimeRepresentation
+	%d the day in month in numeric form, e.g. 24
+	%H hour in 24 hour form
+	%j julian day (day of year)
+	%m month in numeric format
+	%M minute
+	%S second
+	%T Time in '%H:%M:%S'-format
+	%w weekday, 0=monday
+	%x date in format represented by DateRepresentation
+	%X time in format represented by TimeRepresentation
+	%y year in short form
+	%Y year in long form
+	%% %-sign
+
+    I have done some thinking here (*REALLY*) and it is possible to configure
+    this module so it uses other languages by adding their names to the
+    dictionaries first in the file, and setting the variable LANGUAGE.
+
+    For your exercise I have inserted the swedish names ;-)
+
+    The lfind, name, complex, numbers and parse functions are for internal
+    use, called by strptime.
+
+    Uh.. oh yeah.. if you want to get in touch with me.. I am reachable
+    at flognat@fukt.hk-r.se, the newest version of this file can probably
+    be found somewhere close to http://www.fukt.hk-r.se/~flognat
