Validates a --dates argument in Python with the following possible formats:

YYYYMMDD (eg. 20120515)
YYYYMMDD-YYYYMMDD (eg. 20140115-20140315)
yesterday
today

To use this function, reference it in the argparse setup:

When driver.py finishes running, email.send_email() is executed. This is because in the driver, it is registered in the atexit module:

import atexit
atexit.register(send_email)

which means that when the driver is finished and is about to exit, the send_email() function will be the last thing that runs. In this example send_email() simply prints that it's sending an email, but this is where you should actually email report_obj out.
