Consider dateutil parser?

[bdillahu]

Just as a thought/suggestion... maybe consider using python-dateutil parser so that, instead of having to define a format, it can "guess" one... I've found it to be pretty accurate.

Thanks for this regardless... was already a big timesaver!

+1 for this. Dateutil is much more versatile than standard datetime. Thank you for this!

Or, for absolutely over-the-top date/time parsing: https://dateparser.readthedocs.io/en/latest/. This provides a best-guess without having to specify a format ahead of time

Might want to add as an extra requirement though (eg pip install click-datetime[parser])

I am going to close this because I don't want to add more dependencies to this package. I think this should be a new package, like click-dateutil or click-dateparser.
