dateparser.parse only returns NoneType object when using AWS EC2 (Running Python 3.7.9)

Running the following simple code works just fine on my local machine running Python 3.7.3, but returns only object type None when running the same file on an AWS EC2 instance running Python 3.7.9. Any thoughts what could be going on?

Script:

#!/usr/bin/env python
import dateparser

date1 = '2020-01-01'
date2 = '12/13/2020'
date3 = 'December 15, 2020'
date4 = 'Saturday, Dec 12'
date5 = '12-12-2020'
date1p = dateparser.parse(date1)
date2p = dateparser.parse(date2)
date3p = dateparser.parse(date3)
date4p = dateparser.parse(date4)
date5p = dateparser.parse(date5)
print("Date 1 Original:", date1)
print("Date 1 Parsed:", date1p)
print("Date 2 Original:", date2)
print("Date 2 Parsed:", date2p)
print("Date 3 Original:", date3)
print("Date 3 Parsed:", date3p)
print("Date 4 Original:", date4)
print("Date 4 Parsed:", date4p)
print("Date 5 Original:", date5)
print("Date 5 Parsed:", date5p)

Output on local machine running 3.7.3:

Date 1 Original: 2020-01-01
Date 1 Parsed: 2020-01-01 00:00:00
Date 2 Original: 12/13/2020
Date 2 Parsed: 2020-12-13 00:00:00
Date 3 Original: December 15, 2020
Date 3 Parsed: 2020-12-15 00:00:00
Date 4 Original: Saturday, Dec 12
Date 4 Parsed: 2020-12-12 00:00:00
Date 5 Original: 12-12-2020
Date 5 Parsed: 2020-12-12 00:00:00

Output on EC2 with 3.7.9:

Date 1 Original: 2020-01-01
Date 1 Parsed: None
Date 2 Original: 12/13/2020
Date 2 Parsed: None
Date 3 Original: December 15, 2020
Date 3 Parsed: None
Date 4 Original: Saturday, Dec 12
Date 4 Parsed: None
Date 5 Original: 12-12-2020
Date 5 Parsed: None

Any ideas?

Start by running the provided script with dateparser on Python 3.7.3 and 3.7.9, comparing the local environment with the AWS EC2 environment. Investigate why every dateparser.parse call returns None on EC2; done means the five sample inputs produce parsed dates consistently across the reported environments.
