Thanks Jeff.  Have you any plans to address this in a future release 
(and if so, which way will you go?)

Your suggested method would output the string as

2003-07-08 ....

But I quite like having the 3 letter month name in there.  Living in the 
UK, theres always confustion as to whether the day was before the month 
or not.  I know that when the year comes first, the month comes second 
but having the month spelled out just removes any chance of this.

For now, I'll implement my own time_from_string method that handles the 
month as 3 characters.

Cheers

Russell
