Date Machine is a Date parsing system.
It is based on Reparse, and includes 14 date patterns, and a Javascript version.
date_machine_parse('All day Thursday-Sunday, Sept. 20-23., Friday September 21')
# [Date(month=9, day=20),
# Date(month=9, day=21),
# Date(month=9, day=22),
# Date(month=9, day=23)],- Fast
- Scannable: Use over full text and find dates
- Honest: no approximations given about the dates (i.e. if the year is missing it's not included)
- Portable: Parser description compiles to Regex/Json. You just have to write the output builder functions.
- Highly-Customizable: Adding more formats at different levels is easy (if you know regular expressions).
pip install date_machine
or
python setup.py install
in the base directory.
import date_machine
date_machine.parse('Jan 1st')
