Parse a Date

Parsing a date from a string with Maya is 🍰!

First, you’ll need to import maya:

  • maya.when

A simple answer is that you should use parse on machine output, and when on human input.

Use as follows:

>>> recent_win = maya.parse('2016-11-02T20:00PM')
>>> old_win = maya.when('October 14, 1908')
>>> grandpas_date = maya.when('108 years ago')
