If it works, it must be for another reason. Here is an example on Ubuntu
11.10, python 2.7:

>>> import datetime,sys
>>> sys.version
'2.7.2+ (default, Oct  4 2011, 20:06:09) \n[GCC 4.6.1]'
>>> datetime.datetime.strptime('2011-10-11 00:00:00','%Y-%m-%d')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/_strptime.py", line 328, in _strptime
    data_string[found.end():])
ValueError: unconverted data remains:  00:00:00
>>> datetime.datetime.strptime('2011-10-11 00:00:00',
...                            '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S')
datetime.datetime(2011, 10, 11, 0, 0)
>>>

As you can see, the behavior of strptime is as expected on Python 2.7 as
well.

Perhaps that's an error in the module you are using. What does
`asset.date_of_purchase` really return in Windows, and in Ubuntu?
To make things simpler, is there somewhere we can read the exact source
code of the module you are using?
