Description

Hi!

[version 1.0.0-1 (Debian).]

These variants of ISO-8601 (as produced by coreutil's date) for some reason don't parse:

python3 -c "import dateparser; print(dateparser.parse('$(date --iso-8601=hours)'));"
python3 -c "import dateparser; print(dateparser.parse('$(date --iso-8601=ns)'));"

(All other variants as described in date's man page work fine.)

Thx!

Research direction

Reproduce the two dateparser.parse examples from the issue and inspect the ISO-8601 parsing entry points in the repository. Add regression coverage for the hours and nanoseconds variants, with completion defined as both examples returning parsed dates while existing ISO-8601 variants continue to pass.
