StringTypes = types.UnicodeType, types.StringType

class Foo:
    def __init__(self, string_or_year, 
                   month=None, day=None, price1=None, 
                   price2=None, price3=None):
        if month:
		assert day and price1 and price2 and ...
		year = string_or_year
	else:
		assert string_or_year in StringTypes
		year, month, day, price1, price2, price3 = \
			mysplit(sring_or_year)
