ISO 8601 date time string parsing

Basic usage:
>>> import iso8601
>>> iso8601.parse_date("2007-01-25T12:00:00Z")
datetime.datetime(2007, 1, 25, 12, 0, tzinfo=<iso8601.iso8601.Utc ...>)
>>>
Class ParseError Raised when there is a problem parsing a date string
Class Utc UTC
Class FixedOffset Fixed offset in hours and minutes from UTC
Function parse_timezone Parses ISO 8601 time zone specs into tzinfo offsets
Function parse_date Parses ISO 8601 dates into datetime objects
def parse_timezone(tzstring, default_timezone=UTC): (source)
Parses ISO 8601 time zone specs into tzinfo offsets

    
def parse_date(datestring, default_timezone=UTC): (source)
Parses ISO 8601 dates into datetime objects

The timezone is parsed from the date string. However it is quite common to
have dates without a timezone (not strictly correct). In this case the
default timezone specified in default_timezone is used. This is UTC by
default.
