Hi!

While rebuilding the python related packages against the Python 3.15rc1
version we found that dateparser fails to build from source [1].

Numerous tests fail to correctly parse dates. This can be fixed by
upstream's commit b7bb1a5212162b9b78d82eb9bd0f32dfd1d411f3 [2].

I applied the upstream fix in the sandbox [3] to be able to build the
packages that depend on dateparser, please consider applying the patch
to support the upcoming 3.15 version.

The mentioned commit is included in the latest upstream release (1.4.3),
you may also consider updating ot that release to get the fix included.

Happy hacking,
