Duckling Alternative?

See original GitHub issue

ner_duckling has been deprecated and ner_duckling_http has been introduced since version 0.14. net_duckling_http requires the running of a duckling http server, which either requires docker or haskell. Now, the hosting service(DreamHost shared VPS) we are using for deploying our chatbot neither supports docker nor Haskell. Hence we are unable to use date/time extraction.

How do I solve this? Is there any alternative to ner_duckling_http we can use?

Currently the only solution I can think of is to use an already existing datetime parser like dateparser and write a custom Rasa NLU compnent as a wrapper around it.

Implementing a foreign function interface for duckling eould probably be the cleanest solution.

This would need a few lines of python, a few more of haskell. And a whole research team to force ghc compiling it.
