    The dateutil module provides powerful extensions to Python's standard datetime module. It allows scripts to schedule or retrieve real-time data at specific times and makes working with lots of timestamped data easier. The module adds advanced functionality beyond the datetime module while still requiring it as a prerequisite. It was created in 2003, is open source under Apache and BSD licenses, and contains functions, classes, objects, utilities and zoneinfo to help compute relative dates and times and parse dates in different formats.

    Dateutil

    The dateutil module brings powerful extensions to the standard datetime module in Python.
    Scripts that require real-time data rely on the dateutil module to schedule or retrieve data at
    a specific time.

    Working with lots of scripts in this way can be daunting, given the number of changes you
    need to make to the data retrieved.

    That’s when the Dateutil module enters. It provides the advanced functionality to make life of
    coders easier. The module provides extended features to the existing datetime module. But
    note that you still need to install the datetime module as a prerequisite.
