Fred, is there a reason to avoid datetime.datetime's .isoformat() method here? Like so:
Yes. The XML-RPC spec is quite vague. It claims that the dates are in ISO 8601 format, but doesn't say anything more about it. The example shows a string without hyphens (but with colons), so I stuck with eactly that.
A possible downside is that you'll also get fractional seconds if the instance records a non-zero .microseconds value.
There's nothing in the XML-RPC spec about the resolution of time, so, again, I'd rather be conservative in what we generate. -Fred -- Fred L. Drake, Jr. <fdrake at acm.org>
