Description
Hey, we found another example of dates format from receipts that would be nice to parse:
import dateparser
# all is good
>>> dateparser.parse("2020 m. gruodžio 10")
datetime.datetime(2020, 12, 10, 0, 0)
# extra letter messes it up
>>> dateparser.parse("2020 m. gruodžio 10 d.")
# search almost got it
>>> search_dates("2020 m. gruodžio 10 d.")
[('2020 m', datetime.datetime(2020, 12, 16, 0, 0)), ('gruodžio', datetime.datetime(2020, 12, 16, 0, 0))]
>>>dateparser.__version__
'1.0.0'
