I think inputs from strings would be much more common.

I think Skip was intending that the format string be mandatory, to avoid such ambiguity. At least, that's what I inferred from his example, where the format string came before the date string:

  start = datetime.date.fromstring("%Y-%m-%d", "2004-11-25")
