I think the latest version can now strptime offsets of the form ±HH:MM with %z, so there's no longer anything blocking you from parsing from all isoformat() outputs with strptime, provided you know which one you need.
I think a from_isoformat() like method that *only* supports isoformat outputs is a fine idea, though, with a fairly obvious interface. I'd be happy to take a crack at it (I've been working on the somewhat harder problem of an iso8601 compliant parser for dateutil, so this is fresh in my mind).

This may have gotten bogged down again. Could we get the output of datetime.isoformat() parsed at a minimum? Perfection is not required.
Looks like there is a patch or two and test cases on the bug.

Could anyone put this five year-old bug about parsing iso8601 format
date-times
on the front burner?
http://bugs.python.org/issue15873
In the comments there's a lot of hand-wringing about different
variations that
bogged it down, but right now I only need it to handle the output of datetime.isoformat():
>>> dt.isoformat() '2017-10-20T08:20:08.986166+00:00'
Perhaps if we could get that minimum first step in, it could be
iterated on and
made more lenient in the future.
