magicdate Convert fuzzy date to a datetime object. Convert from fuzzy dates like "yesterday", "2 weeks and 1 day ago", "next wed", "Jan 4", etc., to a datetime object. This is useful for processing command line arguments:: >>> from optparse import OptionParser >>> import magicdate >>> parser = OptionParser(option_class=magicdate.MagicDateOption) >>> parser.add_option('-s', '--start', dest='start', type='magicdate', default=None) >>> parser.add_option('-e', '--end', dest='end', type='magicdate', default='today') Now you can pass options like "today", "1996-01-01", etc., to your program.
