Roy Smith added the comment: We need to define the scope of what input strings will be accepted. ISO-8601 defines a lot of stuff which we may not wish to accept. Do we want to accept both basic format (MMDD) and extended format (-MM-DD)? Do we want to accept things like 1985-W15-5,

Alexander Belopolsky added the comment: For what parts of ISO 8601 to accept, there's a standard: RFC3339 This is almost indistinguishable from the idea of accepting .isoformat() and str() results. From what I see the only difference is that 't' is accepted for date/time separator and 'z'
