I reviewed and merged Paul's PR. I concur with Guido, the new
constructor perfectly makes sense and is useful.

About the implementation: date and time are crazy beasts. Extract of the code:

         if not 0 < week < 53:
             out_of_range = True

             if week == 53:
                 # ISO years have 53 weeks in them on years starting with a
                 # Thursday and leap years starting on a Wednesday
                 first_weekday = _ymd2ord(year, 1, 1) % 7
                 if (first_weekday == 4 or (first_weekday == 3 and
                                            _is_leap(year))):
                     out_of_range = False

             if out_of_range:
                 raise ValueError(f"Invalid week: {week}")

"ISO years have 53 weeks in them on years starting with a Thursday and
leap years starting on a Wednesday" !?!

I think it’s a good idea.

Greetings,

Some time ago, I proposed adding a `.fromisocalendar` alternate constructor to 
`datetime` (bpo-36004), with a corresponding implementation (PR #11888). I 
advertised it on datetime-SIG some time ago but haven't seen much discussion 
there, so I'd like to bring it to python-dev's attention as we near the cut-off 
for new Python 3.8 features.

Other than the fact that I've needed this functionality in the past, I also think a good 
general principle for the datetime module is that when a class (time, date, datetime) has 
a "serialization" method (.strftime, .timestamp, .isoformat, .isocalendar, 
etc), there should be a corresponding deserialization method (.strptime, .fromtimestamp, 
.fromisoformat) that constructs a datetime from the output. Now that `fromisoformat` was 
introduced in Python 3.7, I think `isocalendar` is the only remaining method without an 
inverse. Do people agree with this principle? Should we add the `fromisocalendar` method?

Thanks,
Paul
