human-time 1.0.6

Converts digit based time formats to the english language equivalent

HumanTime

Convert numerical times to their human readable English language equivalent.

Examples:

15:00 becomes "Three o'clock"

15:15 becomes "Quarter past three"

15:27 becomes "Twenty seven minutes past three"

Distributed on PyPI - https://pypi.org/project/human-time/

System requirements

Python >= 3.6 is required. The instructions below are focused on creating a Python 3 virtual environment in order to ringfence the dependencies.

Running the application

The package can be installed from source:

cd human-time
python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate

python -m pip install -r requirements.txt

python -m pip install -e . --upgrade

Alternatively the package can be pulled from PyPi:

python3 -m pip install human-time

The installed application can then be invoked in two says, either as command line tool, which simply performs a single time conversion, or as a server, which provides a REST API with single endpoint api/humantime to convert the time.

humantime-server starts by default on port 5000, this can be changed by setting the HUMANTIME_PORT environment variable.

humantime -t 15:00
humantime-server

Both methods either return the human time corresponding to the current time, or if the numeric_time parameter is provided, the human time for the given numeric time.

If using humantime-server, an OpenAPI user interface is available to test it's endpoint, which can be found at

Testing

Before testing ensure that the Python virtual environment is set up, and both unit test and application dependencies are installed by running python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt -r test/requirements.txt

To run the tests run python3 -m pytest --cov=src --pyargs test

Build and Publish

The package is built, and deployed to PyPi via twine, as shown below.

python3 -m pip install setuptools twine
python3 -m setup sdist
twine upload dist/*
