It looks like there are two implementation of strptime() (why?) and
the one that's used by default is the Python version in _strptime.py
Unfortunately, it's pretty slow and takes up a big chunk of my code's
execution time. Is there a way to use the C version instead (is there
a C version in time.so?)
