1This module implements ISO 8601 date, time and duration parsing. The 2implementation follows ISO8601:2004 standard, and implements only date/time 3representations mentioned in the standard. If something is not mentioned there, 4then it is treated as non existent, and not as an allowed option. 5 6For instance, ISO8601:2004 never mentions 2 digit years. So, it is not intended 7by this module to support 2 digit years. (while it may still be valid as ISO 8date, because it is not explicitly forbidden.) Another example is, when no time 9zone information is given for a time, then it should be interpreted as local 10time, and not UTC. 11 12As this module maps ISO 8601 dates/times to standard Python data types, like 13date, time, datetime and timedelta, it is not possible to convert all possible 14ISO 8601 dates/times. For instance, dates before 0001-01-01 are not allowed by 15the Python date and datetime classes. Additionally fractional seconds are 16limited to microseconds. That means if the parser finds for instance nanoseconds 17it will round it to microseconds. 18 19WWW: https://pypi.org/project/isodate/ 20
