Python module for date manipulation

Question

Is there a python module specifically for date manipulation. Something equivalent to the lubridate package in R.

Answer 1

Python have a built-in module for handling datetime..You can try that..!!

But if want something extended (like want to build a generic datetime parser), go for python-dateutil

from dateutil.parser import parse
datetimeObj = parse(strDate) 
# str date is a date string
