.im expiry date is format dd/mm/YYYY and not mm/dd/YYYY

[Dryusdan]

Hi

I found a little inconsistency (registrar fault 😇 )

I created a small script to check the expiration of my domains and found that one of the domains does not return a date in mm/dd/YYYY but in dd/mm/YYYY. This domain is however parsed by PyWhois and return a datetime mm/dd/YYYY.

For example my domain dryusdan.im expire on 7 decembre 2022 but PyWhois set its expire on 12 july 2022. I would make a PR on https://github.com/richardpenman/whois/blob/master/whois/parser.py but I don't know how I can write this specification :/

Thank :)

darn, that's annoying. If someone sends a PR for this I would merge.

It's possible fix this problem? :-)

[richardpenman]

Yes regex parsing likely needs to be updated for the im tld

@fundix @Dryusdan if you want to take a crack at this, it may be as simple as setting dayfirst to True:

class WhoisIm(WhoisEntry):
   dayfirst = True
   ... unmodified past here ...

I went to fix this and found that it seems to be working right now:

➜ whois dryusdan.im
(lots of redacted stuff, well, redacted)

Looks like it's been fixed upstream? I made a branch and set dayfirst, but same result.

Nice, thanks for checking. Must have been fixed for a separate issue.
