AttributeError: 'tuple' object has no attribute 'year'

Reporting error: AttributeError: 'tuple' object has no attribute 'year'

Which can be reproduced with:

from dateparser.date import DateDataParser
DateDataParser().get_date_data('22nd July 2012')

Issue is present since merge of https://github.com/scrapinghub/dateparser/pull/50/files

@horva have you tried updating dateparser? Seems to be working fine for me.

In [8]: DateDataParser().get_date_data('22nd July 2012')
Out[8]: {'date_obj': datetime.datetime(2012, 7, 22, 0, 0), 'period': 'day'}

@horva Please check that your dateutil version is up to date with one in requirements.txt

Thanks @Allactaga updating dateutil fixed it.

I just installed dateparser module from master repo and can reproduce the bug with:

from dateparser.date import DateDataParser DateDataParser().get_date_data('22nd July 2012')

I found out about the bug with a script like this:

record = "19 de Junio de 2006" d = dateparser.parse(unicode(record))

Hi @garaged, seems to be working fine for me. Like advised above, please check your dateutil version in requirements.txt.

In [1]: from dateparser.date import DateDataParser

In [2]: DateDataParser().get_date_data('22nd July 2012')
Out[2]: {'date_obj': datetime.datetime(2012, 7, 22, 0, 0), 'period': u'day'}

In [3]: record = "19 de Junio de 2006"

In [4]: import dateparser

In [5]: dateparser.parse(unicode(record))
Out[5]: datetime.datetime(2006, 6, 19, 0, 0)

you are right, it works

I missed the fact that I should check dateutil version, I missread it as dateparser, so I knew I had the latest from git, but after your comment I took a look aht the requirements.txt file, and I had dateutil 2.2, after update to 2.4.x it worked as expected.

Thanks a lot !! Max

Seems to be broken (again). My packages are up-to-date:

(env)~/D/Amazon-Review-Scraper ❯❯❯ pip freeze
...
dateparser==0.3.3
...
python-dateutil==2.5.0
...

But I get the same error:

Hi @inkrement the error is because of python-dateutil version 2.5.0. Downgrading python dateutil to 2.4.2 should fix this.
