Comparing parsedatetime to dateparser? #275

Open BjornFJohansson opened 2 years ago

Hi, there is a library called "scrapinghub/dateparser" that seem to have comparable goals. What would be some reasons to choose one over the other?

That project does look very similar and from scanning the code, they seem to be a much newer class driven implementation with some overlap to what our library does. They also do seem to have much more locales involved and use some of the more common modules now (pytz for example)

I would say there isn't any huge reason to pick ours over that one if their interface works for your data
