# dtparse
A [dateutil](https://github.com/dateutil/dateutil)-compatible timestamp parser for Rust
## Where it stands
The library works really well at the moment, and passes the vast majority of `dateutil`s parser
test suite. This isn't mission-critical ready, but is more than ready for hobbyist projects.

The issues to be resolved before version 1.0:
**Functionality**:
2018-06-24 23:56:06 -04:00
1. ~~We don't support weekday parsing. In the Python side this is accomplished via `dateutil.relativedelta`~~
2018-06-24 23:55:14 -04:00
Supported in v0.8
2. Named timezones aren't supported very well. [chrono_tz](https://github.com/chronotope/chrono-tz)
theoretically would provide support, but I'd also like some helper things available (e.g. "EST" is not a named zone in `chrono-tz`).
Explicit time zones (i.e. "00:00:00 -0300") are working as expected.
3. "Fuzzy" and "Fuzzy with tokens" modes haven't been tested. The code should work, but I need to get the
test cases added to the auto-generation suite
**Non-functional**: This library is intended to be a direct port from Python, and thus the code
looks a lot more like Python than it does Rust. There are a ton of `TODO` comments in the code
that need cleaned up, things that could be converted to enums, etc.
In addition, some more documentation would be incredibly helpful. It's, uh, sparse at the moment.
