title: Parsing date in pandas.read_csv
body: <p>I am trying to read a CSV file which has in its first column date values specified in this format:</p>
  <pre><code>&quot;Dec 30, 2021&quot;,&quot;1.1&quot;,&quot;1.2&quot;,&quot;1.3&quot;,&quot;1&quot;
  </code></pre>
  <p>While I can define the types for the remaining columns using <code>dtype=</code> clause, I do not know how to handle the Date.</p>
  <p>I have tried the obvious <code>np.datetime64</code> without success.</p>
  <p>Is there any way to specify a format to parse this date directly using <code>read_csv</code> method?</p>
