   getDate(line, dateMatch=None, default_tz=None)

      Method to return the date for a log line.

      This uses a custom version of strptime, using the named groups
      from the instances *pattern* property.

      Parameters:
         **line** : str
            Log line, of which the date should be extracted from.

         **default_tz: optionally used to correct timezone**
      Returns:
         (float, str)
            Tuple containing a Unix timestamp, and the string of the
            date which was matched and in turned used to calculated
            the timestamp.

   property pattern

      The pattern used for regex with strptime "%" time fields.

      This should be a valid regular expression, of which matching
      string will be extracted from the log line. strptime style "%"
      fields will be replaced by appropriate regular expressions, or
      custom regex groups with names as per the strptime fields can
      also be used instead.

   setRegex(pattern, wordBegin=True, wordEnd=True)

      Sets regex to use for searching for date in log line.

      Parameters:
         **regex** : str
            The regex the template will use for searching for a date.

         **wordBegin** : bool
            Defines whether the regex should be modified to search at
            beginning of a word, by adding special boundary
            r'(?=^|b|W)' to start of regex. Can be disabled with
            specifying of ** at front of regex. Default True.

         **wordEnd** : bool
            Defines whether the regex should be modified to search at
            end of a word, by adding special boundary r'(?=b|W|$)' to
            end of regex. Can be disabled with specifying of ** at end
            of regex. Default True.

      Raises:
         re.error
            If regular expression fails to compile

   abstractmethod getDate(line, dateMatch=None, default_tz=None)

      Abstract method, which should return the date for a log line

      This should return the date for a log line, typically taking the
      date from the part of the line which matched the templates
      regex. This requires abstraction, therefore just raises
      exception.

      Parameters:
         **line** : str
            Log line, of which the date should be extracted from.

         **default_tz: if no explicit time zone is present in the
         line**
            passing this will interpret it as in that time zone.

      Raises:
         NotImplementedError
            Abstract method, therefore always returns this.

   getRegex()

   matchDate(line, *args)

      Check if regex for date matches on a log line.

   property regex

      Regex used to search for date.

   setRegex(regex, wordBegin=True, wordEnd=True)

      Sets regex to use for searching for date in log line.

      Parameters:
         **regex** : str
            The regex the template will use for searching for a date.

         **wordBegin** : bool
            Defines whether the regex should be modified to search at
            beginning of a word, by adding special boundary
            r'(?=^|b|W)' to start of regex. Can be disabled with
            specifying of ** at front of regex. Default True.

         **wordEnd** : bool
            Defines whether the regex should be modified to search at
            end of a word, by adding special boundary r'(?=b|W|$)' to
            end of regex. Can be disabled with specifying of ** at end
            of regex. Default True.

      Raises:
         re.error
            If regular expression fails to compile
