# Name:         datetimeparser.py
#
# Purpose:      - Instantiate datetime.datetime/date instance from a string
#                 date representation.
#                 Uses dateutil from http://labix.org/python-dateutil.
#
#               - Creates string representation of datetime/date instance.

       or last in datestr, and whether the day is in front or follows the
       month. If no formatstr is passed in, dateutil tries its best to parse
       the datestr. The default date format is YYYY-mm-dd HH:SS.
