Comment (by David):
This is a limit of supporting Python's `timedelta` which does not support
years and months: https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html
#timedelta-objects.
Yet it supports weeks, thus the parsing in django could be improved to
also support ISO8601 duration with weeks.
If you need to support every IS08601 duration you can use
https://github.com/CodeYellowBV/django-relativedelta which offers support
for `relativedelta` which implements a more complete timedelta class.
