Good that it is of some use – I primarily coded this, as I wanted to try pyparsing. The one thing that still bothers me is performance: if you skim through large texts it is unbelievable slow…

Additionally, I have some test cases that won’t work with this code but never got to fix it. I will possibly look back into it when I have a little spare time…

Thanks for sharing this code – pulling dates from text has been problem I’ve been trying to crack for ages! Have made a few mods and added some tests and posted on my blog.

Actually, I haven’t pursued it further as the dates didn’t proove to enhance the results of Genre Detection; I only have a (probably pretty faulty) fragment of the code. I will post my pyparsing code building the search string soonish Stay tuned!
