   There's another one inside feedparser, and there used to be
one in the xml module.

   Filed issue 15873: "datetime" cannot parse ISO 8601 dates and times
	http://bugs.python.org/issue15873

   This really should be handled in the standard library, instead of
everybody rolling their own, badly.  Especially since in Python 3.x,
there's finally a useful "tzinfo" subclass for fixed time zone
offsets.  That provides a way to directly represent ISO 8601 date/time
strings with offsets as "time zone aware" date time objects.
