I'm converting a bash script to python as it has become rather clumsy
in bash.
However I have hit a problem with converting dates, the bash script
has:-
dat=$(date --date "$1" +"%Y/%m/%d")
and this will accept almost anything reasonably sensible that can be
interpreted as a date, in particular it accepts things like "tomorrow",
"yesterday" and "next thursday".
Is there anything similar in Python or would I be better off simply
using os.system() to run date from the python program?
