hey i really need to use the module articleDateExtractor which is an api for python and when i run the line 'import articleDateExtractor' it gives me this error

Failed Import: 'articleDateExtractor' module doesn't exist in any of the import directories: /home/student/RapydScript, /home/student/RapydScript/src/lib


so i would really appreciate it if you added it to the import directories

Hi Jenny, as mentioned in the README, the goal of the language was never to emulate Python, but to allow a smooth transition for a Python developer to JS and reuse of similar coding style/algorithms. Rather than expecting project maintainers to port an arbitrary library you want to use (which is also contrary to the spirit of open source - I don't get paid for this project, therefore it's not fair for users to demand that something be ported), I suggest you find an equivalent JS library or approach for doing the same thing. The library you mention is very niche, therefore I have no intention of porting it and also no intention of including it in the language stdlib if someone else ports it.
