title: Pythonic way to check if string date is older than 5 days
body: <p>I have 2 dates in string format</p>
  <pre><code>days = 5
  date1 =&quot;24 May 2021&quot;
  </code></pre>
  <p>I want to check if another date is within the range of 5 days of date 1.</p>
  <pre><code>date2 = &quot;11 May 2021&quot;
  date3 = &quot;20 May 2021&quot;
  </code></pre>
  <p>Here, date3 will be printed and date 2 will not be printed.</p>
