Utility to convert strings like "201301-201302" to start and end datetime tuples
Project description
Create meaningful date/time ranges using strings like e.g. “201301” or “201301-201302”.
Install
pip install daterangestr
Quickstart
The daterangestr has exactly one function, to_dates, which converts a date string of a certain, simple format to a datetime tuple.
Example:
>>> from daterangestr import to_dates >>> (start, end) = to_dates("20131014-20131018") >>> print start, end 2013-10-14 00:00:00 2013-10-18 23:59:59
Supported string formats
Rules
Dates can be given in format YYYY, YYYYMM or YYYYMMDD.
The date string can contain either only one date or two dates, seperated by a dash.
If the dash seperator is present and only one date is given, the other date is assumed to be the minimum possible or the maximum possible date.
