John,
I would prefer to be able to use the power and flexibility of datestr2num
and the underlying dateutil.parser, rather than writing my own parser.
However, looking further at dateutil.parser.parse, it takes an argument
tzinfos, which allows timezone names other than the local timezone and
UTC

Not sure how to answer this question vis-a-vid dateutil.p
I am having some problems getting matplotlib.dates.datestr2num to handle
timezones in the datestring.
