iso8601 0.1
I've just released a simple python module for parsing the most common forms of ISO 8601 date strings. A typical ISO 8601 string looks like 2007-01-14T14:01:00Z. ISO 8601 date are commonly used in newer formats and storage, where you want an unambiguous date string and natural sorting.
I've written this module to scratch an annoyance I've encountered: while it's easy to generate these date strings from datetime objects it isn't easy to parse them, especially with time zone information.
You can install it using 'easy_install iso8601'. I'm using code.google.com for this, you can find the home at http://code.google.com/p/pyiso8601/. There is a cheeseshop entry too.
