Babel cannot parse its own format?

See original GitHub issue

import babel.dates
import datetime

today = datetime.datetime.today()
formatted = babel.dates.format_date(today, locale='hu')
print(repr(formatted))
'2017. nov. 11.'

babel.dates.parse_date(formatted)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<input>", line 1, in <module>
  File "C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python34-32\lib\site-packages\babel\dates.py", line 1144, in parse_date
    format = get_date_format(locale=locale).pattern.lower()
  File "C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python34-32\lib\site-packages\babel\dates.py", line 378, in get_date_format
    return Locale.parse(locale).date_formats[format]
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'date_formats'

babel.dates.parse_date(formatted, locale='hu')

I just tested dateparser and well, it cannot be beaten. 🥇 I can do things like converting “today” or “one month ago” or even “két héttel ezelőtt” (meaning: “two weeks ago”). All of them are converted to the correct date and time. This is truly amazing!
