Re: plpython timestamp without time zone, showing up as text instead of timestamp

Intended:

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.3/interactive/plpython-data.html

FYI, it would be a good idea to include the Postgres version. plpython has been undergoing a lot of changes recently, so it would help to peg where you are at in that sequence.

I find dateutil(https://labix.org/python-dateutil) a handy package to have in this situation. Use parse() from the parser module to do the heavy lifting of converting from a string into a date/datetime object.
