A natural language date parser.
Chrono extracts date expression using low-level pattern matching. Thus, it's fast and doesn't has any dependency. Currenly, the supported formats include:
- 2014-12-13 12:00:00
- 10/13/2013
- Sat Aug 17 2013 18:40:39
- Saturday, 17 August 2013 - Monday, 19 August 2013
The current recommended way is installing directly from Github.
pip install git+git://github.com/wanasit/chrono-python.git
Just pass a string to function parse or parse_date.
import chrono
chrono.parse('12 June')
# return an array of [chrono.ParsedResult]
# [<ParsedResult "12 June" : 2014-06-12 12:00:00 >]
chrono.parse_date('12 June')
# return a Python's standard datetime.datetime
# datetime.datetime(2014, 6, 12, 12, 0)
