Magnus,
Thanks for your reply. I wasn't clear in my
prior post. Rather than support the entire
range of iso8601 formats, how about *just* the
format that datetime emits? Call it the
parse_datetime() function. Then it would be
possible to take the output string of a datetime
object and read it back in to round-trip the
data.
>>> now = str(datetime.datetime.now())
>>> now
'2006-02-24 06:58:23.737586'
>>> datetime.parse_datetime(now)
datetime.datetime(2006, 2, 24, 6, 58, 23, 737586)
