Hi Dan,

no, it is not available. I am using the mxDateTime package from
http://www.lemburg.com/files/python

import DateTime.ISO
# in the latest version you must use:
# import mx.DateTime

t = '2001-06-26 09:00:00'
dt = DateTime.ISO.ParseDateTime(t)
print dt

dt is a DateTime-object and you can then apply all methods
from the DateTime package.

HTH,
