Elvis Pranskevichus <el...@magic.io> added the comment: I think that both the pyiso8601 and boxed/iso8601 implementations parse ISO 8601 strings incorrectly. The standard explicitly says that all truncated datetime strings are *reduced accuracy timestamps*. In other words, "2017-10" is *not* equal to "2017-10-01". Instead, "2017-10" represents the whole month of October 2017. Same thing with hours. Earlier versions of ISO 8601 even allowed dropping the year: "--10-01", which meant October 1st of _any year_. They dropped this from more recent revisions of the standard.
The only place where the truncated representation means "default to zero" is the timezone offset, so "10:10:00+4" and "10:10:00+04:00" mean the same thing. ---------- nosy: +Elvis.Pranskevichus _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue15873> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
