Where does Django call parse_datetime on a value returned by PostgreSQL?

If it never does, I'd just document the expected format.

comment:2 Changed 9 years ago by Richard Eames

django.db.models.fields.DateTimeField calls it in its to_python method. I recommend django switch to be closer to ISO-8601 which allows the following formats: Z; [+-]hh:mm, [+-]hhmm, [+-]hh
Currently parse_datetime allows all except the last case which was taken out in 2f59e94a4150c84c8b4 because it (mistakenly) also allowed [+-]hm

I propose that [+-]hh be reintroduced with the semantics outlined in ISO-8601. (I'll create a PR)

Wikipedia confirms that ±hh is supported. Let's do this.

Looks good. My only comment is the most insignificant I ever left on a PR :-) If you can amend the commit and force-push it, I'll merge it.

Any chance of getting this backported to 1.7 and/or 1.6?

comment:10 Changed 9 years ago by Aymeric Augustin

I'll do it for 1.7.

I'd rather not do it in 1.6. I'm wary of making small changes in low level utilities in stable versions because people tend to rely on the exact behaviour, sometimes after checking the source.
