[Pypgsql-devel] Date/Time parsing

[Andrew M. <an...@ob...>]

Looking through the bug reports, I see the following report:

    There is  a problem with parsing German datestyle by
    the DateTime.ISO.ParseAny:

    ValueError: unsupported format: "19.09.2003";

    Maybe  DateTime.Parser.DateTimeFromString is better?

I think making the parsing more generous is a mistake - pypgsql should
explicitly tell the postgres libs what date format it generates and
expects (via SET datestyle TO 'ISO,European'), rather than try to guess.
