The format is a constant defined in this module:
UNKNOWN - Cannot guess the format (associated value is None)
ISO8601 - This is a prefix of the ISO8601 format accepted by completeISO()
ENGLISH - This is an natural English-language format accepted by makeISO()
SECONDS - This is seconds since the UNIX epoch (Midnight on 1970/1/1).
