Module isodate

isodate.py

Functions for manipulating a subset of ISO8601 date, as specified by
  <http://www.w3.org/TR/NOTE-datetime>
  
Exposes:
  - parse(s)
    s being a conforming (regular or unicode) string. Raises ValueError for
    invalid strings. Returns a float (representing seconds from the epoch; 
    see the time module).
    
  - parse_datetime(s)   # if datetime module is available
    s being a conforming (regular or unicode) string. Raises ValueError for
    invalid strings. Returns a datetime instance.
    
  - asString(i)
    i being an integer or float. Returns a conforming string.
  
TODO:
  - Precision? it would be nice to have an interface that tells us how
    precise a datestring is, so that we don't make assumptions about it; 
    e.g., 2001 != 2001-01-01T00:00:00Z.

Thanks to Andrew Dalke for datetime support.
