I am using dateparser and i have got a case, when in the string with date there are other words and I have detected that it doesn’t return expected result in this case.
from dateparser import parse
print(parse('April 19, 2006')) # returns 2006-04-19 00:00:00
print(parse('April 19, 2006 test test')) # returns None
How it works?
>Solution :
As documentation has already warned
Support for searching dates is really limited and needs a lot of improvement, we look forward to community’s contribution to get better on that part
it’s better not to use it that way. but there’s a function for this case. try
from dateparser.search import search_dates
print(search_dates('April 19, 2006 test test'))
output:
[('April 19, 2006', datetime.datetime(2006, 4, 19, 0, 0))]
