Description: This module converts between a given COARDS time specification and a
        Python datetime object, which is much more useful. Suppose you have an
        Array of values [1,2,3] and units "days since 1998-03-01 12:00:00"::
        
        >>> a = [1, 2, 3]
        >>> units = 'days since 1998-03-01 12:00:00'
        >>> b = [parseUdunits(value, units) for value in a]
        >>> print b[0].year
        1998
        >>> b[1] > b[0]
        True
        >>> print b[1] - b[0]
        1 day, 0:00:00
        
        The list 'b' now contains objects which can be compared and manipulated in
        a consistent way.
        
        The latest version is available in a `Subversion repository
