title: Python time zone parsing
body: <p>I have a little problem parsing a date in python</p>
  
  <p>This is the date I have to parse:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Sun Sep 15, 2013 12:10pm EDT
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And that is the code I'm using to parse it:</p>
  
  <pre><code>datetime.strptime( date, "%a %b %d, %Y %I:%M%p %Z")
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Everything is fine but the time-zone parsing, which always return a ValueError exception. I've also tried pytz but without any success.</p>
  
  <p>So how can i parse this kind date using python?</p>
