Alexander Belopolsky added the comment: %z format is supported, but it cannot accept colon in TZ offset. It can parse offsets like -0600 just fine. What OP is looking for is the GNU date %:z format which datetime does not support.
For ISO 8601 compliance, however I think we need a way to specify a parser that will accept any valid 8601 format: with T or space separator and with or without : in time and timezone and with or without dashes in date. I would very much like such promiscuous parser to be implemented in datetime.__new__. So that we can create datetime objects from strings the way we do it with numbers. ---------- nosy: +Alexander.Belopolsky _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15873> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
