Exception in str2time method

[cmft]

In Fandango 14.1.0, str2time raises an exception when you do not specified the minutes in the date format: e.g.

from fandango.functional import str2time
str2time('2018-11-20T14')
#Exception: ('PARAMS_ERROR', 'date format cannot be parsed!: 2018-11-20T14')

However without the seconds works

str2time('2018-11-20T14:00')

Well, the problem is the 'T' in the string.

str2time assume's few standard date formats accepted by mysql and posgresql; if you are using your own custom format then you should pass it as argument to the function:

fn.str2time('2018-11-20T14:00', cad='%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M')

I'll close this issue and create a new one relative to supporting ISO-8061 on time conversions Until then, use the custom format argument

[cmft]

It is not a custom representation; it follows ISO-8601. And in somehow you support it cause it works as it is expected : str2time('2018-11-20T14:00')

Ok

[sergirubio]

but not as default, time2str and str2time are expected to be symetric I will add fandango.functional.DEFAULT_TIME_FORMAT to manage this symmetry
