[issue5207] extend strftime/strptime format for RFC3339 and RFC2822
New submission from Iakov Davydov :
Currently there is no obvious way to parse time from ISO
8601/W3C/RFC3339 date&time format (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc3339.txt)
or RFC2822. (Actually RFC2822 could be parsed with rfc822 module but
that is not very good way).
I suggest that we should add special directive (let's say %o) for time
offset which is "Z" or ("+" / "-") time-hour ":" time-minute.
Also %O directive will parse zone: ( "+" / "-" ) time-hour time-minute.
(I suppose there is no need to support obsolate time zones but if that
is possible it's also good idea).

[issue5207] extend strftime/strptime format for RFC3339 and RFC2822
Iakov Davydov added the comment: ISO 8601 is meant as the standard way to provide an unambiguous and well-defined method of representing dates and times. And the fact that it is widely used in e-mails doesn't make it e-mail specific. Incorporating function parsedate_to_datetime to email.util is acceptable. But the fact that standard python datetime library doesn't have means to parse ISO-approved time format seems strange to me. Once again: ISO 8601 is not a e-mail specific format. So I do not see a reason why parsing it is possible only via email. Using different time-parsing functions in different libraries seems like a bad design to me. -- ___ Python tracker <http://bugs.python.org/issue5207> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
