regression in format_date, etc.

[Christian Boos]

Looks like in r11445 the support for format='iso8601' is gone. We probably didn't have unit tests for that feature, but it was documented (​format_datetime).

I suppose something like this would do:

datefmt.py

@@ -196 +196 @@
 
 def _format_datetime(t, format, tzinfo, locale, hint):
     t = to_datetime(t, tzinfo or localtz)
 
+    if format == 'iso8601':
+        return _format_datetime_without_babel(t, format + hint)
+
     if locale == 'iso8601':
         format = _ISO8601_FORMATS[hint].get(format, format)

(+ some tests, of course)
