Python 2.x has a great function called dateutil.parser which turns an ISO8601 formatted date into a python datetime value. It's not present in Python 3. What is the replacement?

dateutil is a third party module. It has recently been ported to Python 3 with dateutil 2.0, and the parser functions was ported as well.

So the replacement is dateutil.parser. You just forgot to install it.
