I'm ashamed to say that, in the few Python projects I've done, I have resorted to delegating date parsing out to PHP in the past given its amazing date parser. Aside from how silly that sounds, it's actually a pretty fast solution. I'll give this a look and see how it compares. I've found that a lot of Python libraries seem to add an obscene amount of bloat for the functionality I'm looking for.
- pekk 12y agoIf you're happy using PHP for this, I don't want to get in the way of your happiness - but if you applied the same standard to that practice as you do to Python libraries you'd certainly see that invoking a separate PHP process is "an obscene amount of bloat for the functionality".
- tobych 12y agoThey needn't be invoking a separate process. Could be just calling out to an API provided by a running PHP process, perhaps over HTTP.
