An ISO 8601 with dashes YYYY-MM-DD is quite common and I would think that there isn't much chance to confuse with other formats. However, the parsing depends on the locale leading to incorrectly parsed dates. Examples:
>>> dateparser.parse('1991-05-11') datetime.datetime(1991, 5, 11, 0, 0) # correct >>> dateparser.parse('1991-05-11', locales=["en"]) datetime.datetime(1991, 5, 11, 0, 0) # correct >>> dateparser.parse('1991-05-11', locales=["de"]) datetime.datetime(1991, 11, 5, 0, 0) # wrong! >>> dateparser.parse('1991-05-11', locales=["es"]) datetime.datetime(1991, 11, 5, 0, 0) # wrong! >>> print(dateparser.parse('1991-05-17', locales=["de"])) None # wrong!
Is this the expected behavior, or is it just a bug?
Note that the input can be in many formats including ISO, which is why I want to give locales. But I do need ISO to work correctly.
