Previously I'd been using mxDateTime (which does everything but requires a C extension) to parse e-mail style dates (i.e. the ones used in RSS and changes.xml) but it looks like they're handled by the standard library.

mx.DateTime.DateTimeFrom(d['entries'][1].updated)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<input>", line 1, in ?
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/mx/DateTime/DateTime.py", line 226, in DateTimeFrom
    value = float(arg)
ValueError: invalid literal for float(): Fri, 21 Apr 2006 03:02:17 +0000
