It's valid by ISO 8601. The standard allows any number of parts to be
dropped, from least to most significant, in order to have a value with
deliberately reduced precision.

    >>> import datetime
    >>> text = "2011-12"
    >>> datetime.datetime.strptime(text, "%Y-%m")
    datetime.datetime(2011, 12, 1, 0, 0)
