Richer natural language parsing of times

[ishirav]

It would be nice to be able to parse times that are described in natural language.
For example this works:

• "today at noon"
• "today at 3 pm"

But these don't:

• "today at three o'clock"
• "today at three in the afternoon"

Without thinking about it too much, it doesn't seem to be very difficult to add the relevant words as simplifications. What is your position on this?

sounds like really cool idea, how about also adding support for days of week? I'm now in a project where i need to parse dates like 'next monday', 'next friday' etc. It would be nice to have support for this in dateparser.
