dateint

Helper library for manipulation of formatted date/datetime values

It's very common to store date/datetimes as integers or strings using formats such as YYYYmmdd or YYYYmm. In python, to perform date/datetime arithmetic on those values, one needs to:

1. convert the original value to date or datetime
2. perform the date/datetime operation
3. convert the result back to the original format

With dateint, we abstract all convertion operations so you can focus on the arithmetic step:

• single value:

  import dateint as di
  
  di.add(20220510, days=15)
  # 20220525
  

• pandas:

  import dateint as di
  import pandas as pd
  
  dates = pd.Series([202201, 202202, 202203])
  
  di.add(dates, months=2)
  '''
  0    202203
  1    202204
  2    202205
  dtype: int64
  '''
