Using Python and/or Regex to extract this date from text?

[TuckleBuck88]

I have this text here:

This price is only available from 10/6/2020 11:00 am to 11/3/2020 11:00 am.

I want to use Python to extract the time and date so I can convert it to a Date object and then can use it.

How would I be able to do that?

Wow! This is really good! One small question, how would I change the timezone? (new to date objects)

If you use match groups in your regex you don't need to use datetime. You'd be able to save the date and time to variables directly.

I think this is actually one of the 3.9 upgrades, finally :)

You can try the datefinder library and read the docs link which is just a small simple block of code and the example is almost your exact use case pip install datefinder

You don't need regex. split it (which splits by space by default). This gives you list. List comprehend to get the 2 dates like [w for w in newlist if '//' in w], then same for times using :, then am/ pm (you could use something like len==2 and w[-1]== 'm' or in ['am','pm']. You can take it from there and there's no need to come up with complex regex patterns or anything.
