Support for .nz about python-whois HOT 4 CLOSED

Soon .nz will be added.

support for. nz added in version 0.6.3

Testing the 0.6.3 version, I get this error:

>>> import whois
>>> domain = whois.query('cloud.geek.nz')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/whois/__init__.py", line 51, in query
    return Domain(pd) if pd['domain_name'][0] else None
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/whois/_3_adjust.py", line 7, in __init__
    self.creation_date      = str_to_date(data['creation_date'][0])
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/whois/_3_adjust.py", line 60, in str_to_date
    raise ValueError("Unknown date format: '" + s + "'")
ValueError: Unknown date format: '2008-03-20T15:21:52+1300'

Looks like a bug in Python 2.x.
In 3.x works fine ...

>>> from datetime import datetime
>>> datetime.strptime('2008-03-20T15:21:52+1300', '%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%z')

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/_strptime.py", line 317, in _strptime
    (bad_directive, format))
ValueError: 'z' is a bad directive in format '%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%z'

Someone forgot to implement %z :]

I added a workaround in 0.6.4
