If no one else steps up, I can look at it. But I doubt I can finish it
by a1.

I can do datetime.datetime and datetime.date, if no one else already
has. I think they're just aliases for strftime. Is there any problem
with re-using the C implemenation exactly?
static PyMethodDef date_methods[] = {
...
{"strftime", (PyCFunction)date_strftime, METH_VARARGS |
METH_KEYWORDS,
PyDoc_STR("format -> strftime() style string.")},
{"__format__", (PyCFunction)date_strftime, METH_VARARGS |
METH_KEYWORDS,
PyDoc_STR("Alias for strftime.")},
...
I just want to make sure there's no requirement that the function
pointer be unique within the array, or anything like that.
