[2.4.4] creating a datetime.datetime from an XML xs:dateTime

[Martin]

Hi,

subject says it all. I'd like to create a python datetime.datetime
from an xs:string[1]

I know about time.strptime and could get to a datetime.datetime from
there, but that would be error prone like:

 * are there time zones?
 * how is the year represented
 * etc, yadda yadda

so I'd rather like to find some method (hopefully within the standard
lib) that had more peer review than only me :).

thanks
martin
