New submission from Timothy Pederick:

At present, the datetime module does not provide the capability to parse its 
own output from the isoformat() methods.

strptime() can't handle timezones with colons in them (and anyway it seems to 
me you'd need to try several possible format strings depending on ' ' vs 'T' 
separators, presence/absence of microseconds, pres/abs timezone...). Adding 
this capability would be one option (%f already establishes a precedent for 
adding codes outside of what C supports).

Another, perhaps superior option would be a specific method for parsing the 
output of isoformat().
