Responding to both Tim's and Gustavo's follow-ups to my email here. 8 Personally I would love for datetime objects to have a class method to be able to take in the appropriate ISO-formatted date/time string and return the appropriate datetime object. Otherwise I would rather keep the interface clean of string parsing short of using strptime .
I use:
def datefromiso(isoString, todayOnError=True): try: args = tuple(map(int, isoString.split(u'-'))) return datetime.date(*args) except (TypeError, ValueError), x: if todayOnError: return datetime.date.today() else: raise x
def timefromiso(isoString, zeroOnError=True): try: args = tuple(map(int, isoString.split(u':'))) return datetime.time(*args) except (TypeError, ValueError), x: if zeroOnError: return datetime.time(0) else: raise x

Don't really see the use in this other than the rule figuring this out is odd enough that I never remember. Who really cares when Easter is beyond certain religious groups?
Lots of schools still structure Spring Break around Easter...since my org works with youth to a large extent, that means we do about 1/8 of our business for the year during Palm Sunday week and Easter week. Just an example.
