(*) As an aside (that is, this belongs in a separate thread if you want to discuss it), in my opinion, attempting to support ISO 8601 formatting is pointless without the presence of an anchor datetime.
I meant ISO 8601 syntax for "durations" [1]. """ For example, "P3Y6M4DT12H30M5S" represents a duration of "three years, six months, four days, twelve hours, thirty minutes, and five seconds". """ And if you have to ask - no I don't want to see this anywhere near Python stdlib. :-) [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601#Durations
