This is, in fact, a fairly difficult problem in general.  See the TERN_ 
competition that's currently held yearly on this task.  There are a few 
taggers available that do this at:

     http://timex2.mitre.org/taggers/timex2_taggers.html

But none of them are available as Python modules.  You might be able to 
port the Perl script there, but it won't do as well as the ATEL program 
from CU which uses machine learning techniques.
