How to use

Import ago and create a timedelta object:

from ago import delta2dict, human

from datetime import datetime

# pretend this was stored in database
d1 = datetime(
  year = 2010,
  month=5,
  day=4,
  hour=6,
  minute=54,
  second=33,
  microsecond=4000
 )

# this is right now
d2 = datetime.now()

# subtract the two for a timedelta object
delta = d2 - d1

# create a dictionary out of the timedelta
# not needed but accessable
delta_dict = delta2dict( delta )
print delta_dict

# display a human readable timedelta
print 'Created ' + human( delta ) + ' ago.'

# optionally pass a precision
print 'Created ' + human( delta, 3 ) + ' ago.'
print 'Created ' + human( delta, 6 ) + ' ago.'
