Datetimeparser is a python library capable of parsing the english language into datetime objects.
It was created due to the lack of such library and need for it. We knew that there was dateutil but we wanted a more powerful parsing library.
Datetimeparser can even parse complex grammar and sentence structure.

Below you can find some examples of how datetimeparser can be used.

from datetimeparser import parse

print(parse("next 3 years and 2 months"))
# 2025-04-06 11:43:28

print(parse("begin of advent of code 2022"))
# 2022-12-01 06:00:00

print(parse("in 1 Year 2 months 3 weeks 4 days 5 hours 6 minutes 7 seconds"))
# 2023-05-01 17:59:52

print(parse("10 days and 2 hours after 3 months before christmas 2020"))
# 2020-10-05 02:00:00

Use pip to install the library:

$ pip install python-datetimeparser
