May add a try except for def "str_to_date" ?

i actually have no errors in the lattest code,

you used the latest git code or the latest pip version ?

>>> import whois
>>> d = whois.query('edu.vlaanderen')
>>> print(d.__dict__)
{'name': 'edu.vlaanderen', 'tld': 'vlaanderen', 'registrar': 'Combell nv', 'registrant_country': 'BE', 'creation_date': datetime.datetime(2015, 2, 22, 9, 34, 48), 'expiration_date': datetime.datetime(2024, 2, 22, 9, 34, 48), 'last_updated': datetime.datetime(2023, 2, 22, 9, 35, 5), 'status': 'ok https://icann.org/epp#OK', 'statuses': ['autoRenewPeriod https://icann.org/epp#autoRenewPeriod', 'ok https://icann.org/epp#OK'], 'dnssec': False, 'name_servers': ['ns3.combell.net', 'ns4.combell.net'], 'registrant': 'Registrant State/Province:', 'emails': ['activation@combell.com']}

my error eth not edu ;-)

[maarten-boot]

the issue is with the existing regex in .com that does not allow for a missing date and gobbles up the next line

fixed with

"creation_date": r"Creation Date:[ \t]*([^\n]*)",
"expiration_date": r"Registry Expiry Date:[ \t]*([^\n]*)",
"updated_date": r"Updated Date:[\t ]*([^\n]*)",

testing now

[maarten-boot]

should be fixed in the current code now
