🏁 Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Python 3

Installation

Using pip

pip install datetime_toolkit

✨ Usage

Default instantation

Default parameters are from 🇨🇱 Chile:

• NTP Server: ntp.shoa.cl
• Time zone: America / Santiago
• Locale: Your system default locale

To use custom locale, the language must be installed on your system. On Linux, check your /etc/locale.gen file. For example, I have English, Spanish and German installed.

grep -v "#" /etc/locale.gen

en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8
es_CL.UTF-8 UTF-8
de_DE.UTF-8 UTF-8

datetime_toolkit = DatetimeToolkit(locale = 'es_CL.UTF-8')
print(datetime_toolkit.months)
print(datetime_toolkit.days)

# Printed values
['Enero', 'Febrero', 'Marzo', 'Abril', 'Mayo', 'Junio', 'Julio', 'Agosto', 'Septiembre', 'Octubre', 'Noviembre', 'Diciembre']
['Lunes', 'Martes', 'Miércoles', 'Jueves', 'Viernes', 'Sábado', 'Domingo']

Custom instantation

To use custom parameters, use the country ISO 3166 alpha-2 code to find your country information.

For example, the country code for 🇩🇪 Germany is "DE", so you can use:

info = DatetimeToolkit.country_information(alpha_2_code = 'de')

# Static method country_information(code) will return a dictionary like this
info = {'country': 'Germany', 'time_zones': ['Europe/Berlin', 'Europe/Busingen']}

I will use PTB NTP server (ptbtime1.ptb.de) and the timezone from Berlin.

datetime_toolkit = DatetimeToolkit(ntp = 'ptbtime1.ptb.de', tz = 'Europe/Berlin', locale = 'de_DE.UTF-8')
print(datetime_toolkit.months)
print(datetime_toolkit.days)

# Printed values
['Januar', 'Februar', 'März', 'April', 'Mai', 'Juni', 'Juli', 'August', 'September', 'Oktober', 'November', 'Dezember']
['Montag', 'Dienstag', 'Mittwoch', 'Donnerstag', 'Freitag', 'Samstag', 'Sonntag']

Class DatetimeToolkit properties and methods

Property	Returns
days	List with the names of the days of the week as strings. Language used is determined by locale parameter or system default. First letter is uppercase and the rest lowercase.
months	List with the names of the months as strings. Language used is determined by locale parameter or system default. First letter is uppercase and the rest lowercase.

Method	Returns
@staticmethod country_information(alpha_2_code: str)	Dictionary with country information. Keys are the strings "country" and "time_zones".
locale()	Locale used as string. None if no locale was provided.
server_url()	NTP server URL/IP as string.
tz()	Object datetime.tzinfo for the given time zone.
local_time()	Float timestamp of the current local time. Wrapper of time.time()
server_time()	Integer timestamp of the server time.
datetime(is_request_forced = False, is_utc = False)	Datetime object using given time zone.
string(is_request_forced = False, is_utc = False, string_format = '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S')	String representing datetime using string_format.
float_to_datetime(timestamp: float, is_utc = False)	Datetime from timestamp using given time zone.
float_to_string(timestamp: float, is_utc = False, string_format = '%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S')	String from timestamp using given time zone and string_format.
name_month(custom_datetime: datetime = None, is_request_forced = False, is_utc = False)	String of the localized month name. If custom_datetime is None, it will use datetime() method.
name_day(custom_datetime: datetime = None, is_request_forced = False, is_utc = False)	String of the localized day name. If custom_datetime is None, it will use datetime() method.
