Why I see 2016 instead of 2015?

[CosmaVito]

I want to convert a date as a string into type date.
E.g: Oct 4 = ' 2015-10-04 00:00:00 '

I try this:
import parsedatetime as pdt

c = pdt.Constants()
p = pdt.Calendar(c)
f = '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'

data_format = p.parseDT(date_time)  //In this case date_time= "Oct 4"
print data_format[0].strftime(f) 

This code works, but strangely i see 2016 instead of 2015.
So I see this: ' 2016-10-04 00:00:00 '

There is an option on Constants that allows you to interpret all dates without a year as relative to the current year. The default behavior is to assume that a date prior to today's date is referring to the following year.

Simply set the YearParseStyle to zero if you need this alternate behavior:

c.YearParseStyle = 0

For example, with the default value c.YearParseStyle = 1, today (Oct 25, 2015) if I parsed Oct 26 I would get Oct 26, 2015. For Oct 24 I would get Oct 24, 2016. January 4 would of course also parse as 2016. With c.YearParseStyle = 0 all of these dates will parse as 2015.
