Unrecognised ISO 8601 date format

Check this out:

>>> from stdnum.eu.vat import check_vies                                                                                                                                                                      
>>> check_vies('DE123456788')

}

It seems like there's some error in the date format returned by the endpoint.

It also seems that it is just a warning, because the function returns a good value. However, it's logged with error level.

Thanks for reporting this.

I currently get this (running with python3 -Wall):

>>> from stdnum.eu.vat import check_vies
>>> check_vies('DE123456788')
Forcing soap:address location to HTTPS
{
    'countryCode': 'DE',
    'vatNumber': '123456788',
    'requestDate': datetime.date(2024, 11, 17),
    'valid': False,
    'name': None,
    'address': None
}

Relevant installed packages:

zeep==4.3.1
isodate==0.7.0 (but I've also tested 0.7.2)

While "2024-11-11+01:00" is a pretty weird date (including the time zone in a date without a time) but according to Wikipedia some parts of the date or time may be omitted.

In any case this is not something that can easily be solved in python-stdnum as it seems that the VIES SOAP service really returns a timestamp in that format.
