I'm developing a web-application where the user sometimes has to enter dates in plain text, allthough a format may be provided to give clues. On the server side this piece of text has to be parsed into a datetime python-object. Does anybody have any pointers on this?
Besides the actual parsing, my main concern is the different locale date formats and how to be able to parse those strange us-like "month/day/year" compared to the clever and intuitive european-style "day/month/year" etc. I've searched google, but haven't found any good referances that helped me solve this problem, especially with regards to the locale date format issues.
