Datetime with swapped year/timezone parsed incorrectly

[GoogleCodeExporter]

While moving from Feedparser 5.1 to 5.1.3 the time detection changed in some 
ways.

With Feedparser 5.1 a string ``'Sun Jul 15 00:15:00 +0000 2012'`` was correctly 
recognized as

time.struct_time(tm_year=2012, tm_mon=7, tm_mday=15, tm_hour=0, tm_min=15, 
tm_sec=0, tm_wday=6, tm_yday=197, tm_isdst=0)

. After the updated it is recognized as

time.struct_time(tm_year=2000, tm_mon=7, tm_mday=15, tm_hour=0, tm_min=0, 
tm_sec=0, tm_wday=5, tm_yday=197, tm_isdst=0)

which is, obviously, not what we want.

To make this actually work with 5.1.3 I created my on parser using the dateutil 
library:

import dateutil
def dateutilDateHandler(aDateString):
    return dateutil.parser.parse(aDateString).utctimetuple()
feedparser.registerDateHandler(dateutilDateHandler)

Thanks for reporting this!

I replaced at least one of the date parsers because it contained code that was 
obviously copied directly from the Python standard library without attribution. 
However, I'll review this problem and see what can be done to resolve it.
