The package does not throws errors on a lot of parse exceptions leading to erronous data. I got screwed over by this and decided to fork the repository and apply all the outstanding patches.
###Update Version -- Simple Python module to parse ISO 8601 date strings###
A simple package to deal with ISO 8601 date time formats.
ISO 8601 defines a neutral, unambiguous date string format, which also has the property of sorting naturally.
e.g. YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSZ or 2007-01-25T12:00:00Z
Currently this covers only the most common date formats encountered, not all of ISO 8601 is handled.
Currently the following formats are handled:
- 2006-01-01T00:00:00Z
- 2006-01-01T00:00:00[+-]00:00
I'll add more as I encounter them in my day to day life. Patches with new formats and tests will be gratefully accepted of course :)
