I downloaded it and with a couple mods I was able to use it as a substitute for strftime() in timemodule.c. It compiles cleanly and seems to pass all tests.

I misspoke. test_strptime fails with timezone issues. That's probably just my misunderstanding of how Python deals with timezones. I make a quick replacement of Tcl's tzname stuff to get it to compile, but the test fails. It would probably not be much work for someone who understands how the Python datetime/time code handles timezone names.
