Would the "parser" module from the third-party dateutil module work for you?

http://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-dateutil
http://labix.org/python-dateutil#head-c0e81a473b647dfa787dc11e8c69557ec2c3ecd2

I don't believe the library is updated for Python 3 yet, sadly.  But I
bet it could be ported fairly easily.  I think it's pure python.
