Bug Description
Hey Gustavo :-)
German dates (DD.MM.YYYY) are parsed inconsistently:
>>> parse('20.2.2000') # 20th Feb
datetime.
>>> parse('1.2.2000') # 1st Feb
datetime.
The result of parse() should either always follow the first scheme or always follow the second scheme to avoid surprises.

A: Because it disrupts the natural way of thinking.
Q: Why is top posting frowned upon?
