Basically, I'm wondering if it is part of the standard library

Page 20 of RFC2616 (HTTP) describes the format(s) for the time
header. It wouldn't be too difficult for me to code up a solution
for the 3 standard formats, but what get's me is the little note
about how some servers may still send badly format time headers. :(
So, I'm curious if this has already been done in the standard Python
library?
The parsedate() function in the rfc822 module does this and claims to
be tolerant of slightly malformed dates, but that module is deprecated
as of Python 2.5 in favor of the email module which hopefully has an
equivalent function.
