datetime2 0.1.1

New date and time classes

The datetime2 module provides new classes date and time classes.

This module will provide date and time classes, as the original datetime module does. However, the new classes on the one hand will separate date and time handling from their representation, on the other hand they will provide new calendars and time measurement systems.

Code is hosted at GitHub: see that page for development information.

Project objectives

• Decoupling between operations on date and time objects and their representation.

• Access to different calendars, for input parsing and output formatting.

• Access to different time representation systems, also for input and output.

• Ability to dynamically load new formatting classes.

• Internationalization.

• Implementation of the part of the Unicode Locale Database concerned with dates and times.

• Interface with other Python modules or inclusion of their functionalities in its submodules.
