strptime returns a struct_time[0] which is a 9-tuple. 

The datetime constructor takes up to 8 arguments, but the last 2 are 
microseconds and a tzinfo object, whereas timetuple's indexes 6 to 8 hold 
respectively the weekday, the yearday and a daylight saving flag (for mktime).

So strptime and datetime are compatible on their first 6 values (return for 
strptime, input for datetime), hence the slicing of strptime's result to get 
only the first 6 values.
