Well, we could tell people that they could import strptime directly if they want to use the Python version. I mean this whole issue is solved if people passed their time tuples through I brain-dead simple function that unpacked the tuple and tested that values within the valid range if they weren't gave them values that made sense. But then the question becomes do we want to do this for the user in the library or should we let them do it themselves.

...or provide a function that allows them to do it themselves. (Thereby making it easy but not defaulted.)
