Get the format in dateutil.parse

Is there a way to get the "format" after parsing a date in dateutil. For example something like:

>>> x = parse("2014-01-01 00:12:12")
datetime.datetime(2014, 1, 1, 0, 12, 12)

x.get_original_string_format()
YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS # %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S

# Or, passing the date-string directly
get_original_string_format("2014-01-01 00:12:12")
YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS # %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S

Update: I'd like to add a bounty to this question to see if someone could add an answer that would do the equivalent on getting the string-format of a common date-string passed. It can use dateutil if you want, but it doesn't have to. Hopefully we'll get some creative solutions here.
