How can I accept flexible dates in Python3?

The GNU 'date' utility is awesome. I can feed it all sorts of dates and it can handle all of them, and convert them to whatever string format I want. Some examples are...

today
tomorrow
next thurs
next April
Aril 1
last year
1 month ago
2019-10-07

Is there an easy way to handle this flexibility with python3? I want to accept as many date formats as possible from the user, then convert them to %Y-%m-%d before printing to stdout.

Have A look at dateparser library in python :

https://dateparser.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

It will parse the above mentioned dates along with searching the dates in sentences, supporting different languages etc.
