I think you are right. This date string was taken from a .co.uk site. :-)

My fault. It was a 3 letter code after a date, I was sure that it is a 
time zone. Apparently, it is not. :-)

The "did not match format" message was misleading me. It would be better 
to throw ValueError("Unknown time zone: BDT"). :-)

Thank you,
