+Rename the *fmt* parameter of the pure-Python implementation of
+:meth:`datetime.time.strftime` to *format*. Rename the *t* parameter of
+:meth:`datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp` to *timestamp*. These changes mean
+the parameter names in the pure-Python implementation now match the
+parameter names in the C implementation. Patch by Alex Waygood.
