[Chandler-dev] Natural Language date Parsing

[Darshana Chhajed]

Hi John,
I went through the dateutil package which I found on the web. the link is 
http://labix.org/python-dateutil#head-42a94eedcff96da7fb1f77096b5a3b519c859ba9
This does not understand natural language.

They use the following command to get the same date of the Next Month :
>>> NOW+relativedelta(months=+1)
The output is in the datetime format. 

And the program on date parsing which Bear has already done, takes the command
>>>cal.parse("next month")
The output is in seconds from the sourcetime(which can be specified or is assumed to be the current datetime otherwise).Currently this program is not complete and accurate. I am working on it.

Now , what we require for NL date parsing is to be able to take the natural language input (like Bear's code) and give the output in datetime(like dateutil package)

So I was thinking to write a wrapper around the dateutil which help me use it the way we want to.
is it the right approach? 
Other suggestions are welcome. 

Thanks,
Darshana
