dttools 1.0.0

A simple library for common date and time manipulations

dttools

A simple Python library for common date and time manipulations.

Installation

pip install dttools

Requires Python 3.10+. Uses the standard library's zoneinfo for timezones (no pytz). On Windows, tzdata is pulled in automatically.

Usage

Adding (or subtracting) business days

from dttools import add_business_days
from datetime import datetime, date

start_date = datetime(2023, 11, 10)
add_business_days(start_date, 5)   # 5 business days forward, skipping weekends
add_business_days(start_date, -3)  # 3 business days backward

# Optionally skip holidays too
add_business_days(start_date, 5, holidays={date(2023, 11, 23)})

Counting business days between two dates

from dttools import days_between_in_business_days
from datetime import datetime

days_between_in_business_days(datetime(2023, 11, 1), datetime(2023, 11, 10))
# Counts weekdays from start (inclusive) up to end (exclusive).

Checking business days and weekends

from dttools import is_business_day, is_weekend
from datetime import date

is_business_day(date(2023, 11, 10))  # True  (Friday)
is_business_day(date(2023, 11, 11))  # False (Saturday)
is_weekend(date(2023, 11, 11))       # True

Human-readable relative dates

from dttools import format_relative_date
from datetime import datetime, timedelta

now = datetime.now()
format_relative_date(now - timedelta(minutes=30))  # "30 minutes ago"
format_relative_date(now - timedelta(hours=2))     # "2 hours ago"
format_relative_date(now - timedelta(days=3))      # "3 days ago"
format_relative_date(now + timedelta(days=1))      # "Tomorrow"

Converting to a specific timezone

from dttools import to_timezone
from datetime import datetime, timezone

utc_now = datetime.now(timezone.utc)
to_timezone(utc_now, "America/New_York")

Naive datetimes are treated as UTC.
