Date/time types for Argparse
Project description
Introduction
dtargs is a small module that makes accepting date/time arguments with Argparse easier.
Examples
A date argument
import argparse import dtargs parser = argparse.ArgumentParser() parser.add_argument('start', type=dtargs.DateType()) # defaults to %Y-%m-%d parser.add_argument('end', type=dtargs.DateType('%d/%m/%Y'))
A date/time argument
import argparse import dtargs parser = argparse.ArgumentParser() parser.add_argument('start', type=dtargs.DateTimeType()) # defaults to %Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ parser.add_argument('end', type=dtargs.DateTimeType('%H:%M:%S_%Y-%m-%d', tz=None)
Timezones
The DateTimeType accepts a tz parameter, which is handled thusly
import dtargs dtargs.DateTimeType()('2015-01-02T12:34:56Z') >>> datetime.datetime(2015, 1, 2, 12, 34, 56, tzinfo=<UTC>) dtargs.DateTimeType(tz=None)('2015-01-02T12:34:56Z') >> datetime.datetime(2015, 1, 2, 12, 34, 56, tzinfo=None) dtargs.DateTimeType('%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%z', tz=None)('2015-01-02T12:34:56+0100') >> datetime.datetime(2015, 1, 2, 12, 34, 56, tzinfo=datetime.timezone(datetime.timedelta(0, 3600)) dtargs.DateTimeType('%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%z', tz=pytz.utc)('2015-01-02T12:34:56+0500') >> datetime.datetime(2015, 1, 2, 7, 34, 56, tzinfo=<UTC>)
