Exception: Could not parse your date

See original GitHub issue

I have this very simple code

gn = GoogleNews()

start = datetime.date(2018,3,1)

end = datetime.date(2019,3,1)

print(start)

gn.search(query=“car”, from_=start.strftime(‘%Y-%m-%d’), to_=end.strftime(‘%Y-%m-%d’))

but it’s giving me the error of `
