From documentation of datetime.isoformat() and 
__str__() :

Return a string representing the date and time in ISO 
8601 format, YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS.mmmmmm or, if 
microsecond is 0, YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS


This behavior assume if microsecond is 0, it means the 
user don't need microsecond precision. This is a poor 
assumption because obviously the user may want 
microsecond precision but its value just happen to be 0. 
Now the output is irregular the user can't even use string 
slicing without checking the length of the output first.

Similar behavior found in 

timedelta.__str__()

time.isoformat()
