No, this was brought up recently on the developer list. Take a look at this message from the archive:
Thanks Jeff. Have you any plans to address this in a future release (and if so, which way will you go?)
I'm a little worried about breaking existing code, so I think the right thing would be to modify the input to accept either a string or an integer month in the from_simple_string.
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.
I agree totally with this -- it is the reason why the output includes the 3 letter month. Unfortunately, I didn't make it consistent...
For now, I'll implement my own time_from_string method that handles the month as 3 characters.
When you get it working, ship it to me and I will work on including it in the next release... Jeff
