parser
This module offers a generic date/time string parser which is able to parse most known formats to represent a date and/or time.
This module attempts to be forgiving with regards to unlikely input formats, returning a datetime object even for dates which are ambiguous. If an element of a date/time stamp is omitted, the following rules are applied:
- If AM or PM is left unspecified, a 24-hour clock is assumed, however, an hour on a 12-hour clock (
0 <= hour <= 12) must be specified if AM or PM is specified.- If a time zone is omitted, a timezone-naive datetime is returned.
If any other elements are missing, they are taken from the
datetime.datetimeobject passed to the parameterdefault. If this results in a day number exceeding the valid number of days per month, the value falls back to the end of the month.Additional resources about date/time string formats can be found below:
