Hi. At the moment I think parsedatetime always interprets a string like "Friday" as meaning "next Friday". Is it possible to choose to make the default be the opposite? So "Friday" on its own would mean "last Friday".

Thanks very much. This is an incredibly useful project.

@jrw35 apologies for the slow response...

You can control that by passing to the Calendar() object when creating it a custom Constant() object that has the DOWParseStyle set

See the source https://github.com/bear/parsedatetime/blob/master/parsedatetime/__init__.py#L2352 for what the value to set it is
