Utilities for parsing time strings
Project description
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 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 and pytz. 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
python setup.py nosetests
Basic methods
Chronos offers the following main functions:
-
With parse you can parse a date. You can specify a format name with
format_name
, a list of possible format names withformat_names
or not specify any format. In the last case,parse
will try all the possible formats until it finds the correct one:from chronos import chronos chronos.parse("1969-W29-1", format_name="week-date")
from chronos import chronos chronos.parse("1969-W29-1", format_names=["week-date", "week-date-time"])
from chronos import chronos chronos.parse("7-14-1969 5:36 PM")
-
You can also find the format_name from a date with find_format:
from chronos import parser chronos.find_format("1969-07-14Z")
If both format_name
and format_names
are passed, it will try all the
possible formats in format_names
and format_name
.
You can find all the supported formats, and an example for each one of them inside the test file.
