[Twisted-Python] Strange error when using strptime within a nevow application

[Franz Zieher]

I've experiencing a very strange error when using strptime for populating a
'formal' form.

If I run the code segment with strptime in ipython it can succesfully
transform
'12-10-06' with '%d-%m-%Y' into a time tuple!

With nevow I get the following exception:

        exceptions.AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute

Any idea what that could be?

Thanks
