Sorry, but it does work for me:

$ TZ=America/New_York python3
Python 3.4.3 (default, Jul 20 2015, 12:59:38)
[GCC 4.2.1 Compatible Apple LLVM 6.1.0 (clang-602.0.53)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from datetime import *
>>> t = datetime.strptime("2014-11-02T01:30-0400", "%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M%z")

which version of Python are you using?
