Date Time Expressions
Project description
Date Time Expression
dte
is a WIP date-time language with focus on broad interpretation and simplicity.
If you don't think it's intuitive, it's probably not finished.
It is strongly inspired by pdd.
Install
pip install dte
How to use
For general use just keep in mind:
- Dates are always interpreted with highest units appearing before, e.g.:
%Y-%m-%d
or%Y %b %d
formats, although the unit separator doesn't have to be "-" for the former - Month and year's complex operations are handled by dateutil module
- Unix timestamps are both interpreted and output in seconds
help
is a command
