I am curious about why you have to parse dates in different formats. Is it part of a web crawler?

Once I switched to python 3, datetime has been sufficient for my needs as timezone is also handled.

We worked with a third party API for a data source which had inconsistent formats for dates. Also, we A/B test inputs and its awesome to be able to change how users input dates on the front-end without server-side code changes.
