Comment 5 for bug 721297

Hi Ken,
we have tested the fix today but found that python uses the old ISO8601 format that doesn't contain the 'Z' symbol at the end. Unfortunately the parsers in the Amazon java SDK use the new ISO8601 UTC format more information is available here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601
in the UTC section.
We couldn't find a way to make python write the 'Z' symbol at the end of a date format. I don't know if you can help with this, but this is the way the Amazon API is written and it will break compatibility with it if it is not fixed.
The current fix does really convert the date to ISO format , but in "Local Time" not in UTC.
