Not really. You have all of the parsing methods in a single class. Is
it possible for each data class to have a parse method?

class DOB(object):
    def parse(...):
        pass

There are many pros and cons do this way of doing things. Google
polymorphism and possibly duck typing to see some interesting
discussions.
