Hmm, I have some code that uses ISO date/time strings and just checked
to see how I did it, and it looks like it uses iso8601-0.1.4-py2.6.egg .
I don't remember downloading that module (I must have done it and
forgotten).  I'm not sure what its outstanding issues are, as it works
ok in the limited way I use it.

I agree that this functionality ought to be in the stdlib.
