John Nagle added the comment: As the original author of the predecessor bug report (issue 15873) in 2012, I would suggest that there's too much bikeshedding here. I filed this bug because there was no usable ISO8601 date parser available. PyPi contained four slightly different buggy ones, and three more versions were found later.
I suggested following RFC3339, "Date and Time on the Internet: Timestamps", section 5.6, which specifies a clear subset of ISO8601. Five years later, I suggest just going with that. Fancier variations belong in non-standard libraries. Date parsing should not be platform-dependent. Using an available C library was convenient, but not portable. Let's get this done. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue24954> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
