2.1.2 Date Literals
The properties start and end of tasks are datetime
types (time aware dates). Python has no datetime literals, therefore
datetime are specified as strings. faces converts the string literals to
datetimes. The conversion mechanism is quite tolerant and
you can specify different date formats. The following are all the
same datetimes: "2005-1-16 00:00", "05-1-16 00:00", "16.1.2005 00:00",
"16.1.05 00:00", "20050116 00:00", "16/1/2005 00:00", "16/1/05 00:00".
If you omit the time part "00:00" is assumed.
