bigml-chronos 0.3.1

Utilities for parsing time strings

# Chronos Utilities for parsing time strings in Python.

## Building and installation

Before installing chronos you will have to generate some of its modules as it is explained in [Chronos readme](../readme.md) Then, you can simply run

` pip install bigml-chronos `

## Requirements Python 2.7 and Python 3 are currently supported.

The basic third-party dependencies are [isoweek](https://pypi.org/project/isoweek/) and [pytz](http://pytz.sourceforge.net/). These libraries are automatically installed during the setup.

## Running the tests The tests will be run using nose, that is installed on setup. You can run the test suite simply by issuing

`shell python setup.py nosetests `

## Basic methods There are three main methods in the chronos modules that you can use:

• With parse_with_format you can specify the format_name that you want to use to parse your date:

  `python from chronos import parser parser.parse_with_format("week-date", "1969-W29-1") `

• With parse, you don’t need to specify a format_name. Chronos will try all the possible formats until it finds the appropiate one:

  `python from chronos import parser parser.parse("7-14-1969 5:36 PM") `

• You can also find the format_name from a date with find_format:

  `python from chrono import parser parser.find_format("1969-07-14Z") `

You can find all the supported formats, and an example for each one of them inside the [test file](./chronos/tests/test_chronos.py).
