Install

pip install bridgetime

Quickstart

from bridgetime import bridge_duration, bridge_time, supported_locales, supported_units

now = bridge_time.now("UTC")
print(now.to_iso())

custom = bridge_time.parse_format("22/02/2026 10:15", "DD/MM/YYYY HH:mm", "UTC")
print(custom.to_iso())
from_array = bridge_time.from_array([2026, 1, 22, 10, 15, 30, 250], "UTC")
print(from_array.to_array())
duration = bridge_duration(90, "minute")
print(duration.humanize(True))  # in 2 hours

ny = now.to_timezone("America/New_York")
print(ny.format("YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss"))
print(now.utc_offset(), now.is_utc(), ny.is_dst())

future = now.add(2, "week").start_of("day")
print(future.to_iso())

print(now.get("month"))          # 0-based month (Jan=0)
print(now.set("day", 1).to_iso())  # set weekday (Sunday=0)
print(now.days_in_month())
print(now.quarter(), now.iso_weekday())
print(now.day_of_year(), now.week(), now.iso_week())
print(now.iso_week_year(), now.days_in_year(), now.weeks_in_year(), now.iso_weeks_in_year())
print(now.is_today())
print(now.add(30, "minute").from_now())  # in 30 minutes
print(now.calendar())
print(now.format_locale("dddd, D MMMM YYYY HH:mm", "fr"))
print(now.add_duration(bridge_duration.from_minutes(30)).to_iso())
print(now.is_between(now.start_of("day"), now.end_of("day"), "day", "[]"))
print(bridge_time.min(now, future).to_iso(), bridge_time.max(now, future).to_iso())
print(now.clamp(now.subtract(1, "day"), now.add(1, "day")).to_iso())

print(supported_units())
print(supported_locales())

parsed = bridge_time.parse_batch(["2026-02-22T10:15:30Z", "2026-02-23T10:15:30Z"], "UTC")
rendered = bridge_time.format_batch(parsed, "dddd, DD MMM YYYY", "UTC", "es")
print(rendered)

API Highlights

• Core: parse, format, add, subtract, start_of, end_of, diff
• Locale/calendar: format_locale, calendar, supported_locales
• Duration helpers: bridge_duration, bridge_time.duration(value, unit?), add_duration, subtract_duration
• Batch parse/format helpers: parse_batch, parse_format_batch, format_batch
• Custom parse helpers: parse_format(input, pattern, timezone?), from_array(components, timezone?), to_array()
• Timezone helpers: timezone, utc_offset, is_utc, is_dst, to_timezone
• Calendar helpers: get, set, component getters/setters (year, set_year, etc), days_in_month, is_leap_year, is_valid
• Week/day helpers: day_of_year, set_day_of_year, quarter, set_quarter, iso_weekday, set_iso_weekday, week, week_of_year, set_week, iso_week, set_iso_week, iso_week_year, days_in_year, weeks_in_year, iso_weeks_in_year
• Relative-day helpers: is_today, is_yesterday, is_tomorrow
• Relative-time helpers: from_time, to_time, from_now, to_now
• Min/max helpers: bridge_time.min(a, b), bridge_time.max(a, b), clamp(start, end)
• Comparison helpers: is_before, is_after, is_same, is_same_or_before, is_same_or_after, is_same_or_before_unit, is_same_or_after_unit
• Unit/range helpers: is_before_unit, is_after_unit, is_same_unit, is_between

Uppercase exports (BridgeTime, BridgeDuration) are no longer part of the public Python API.
