infdate 0.1.0

Date object wrapper supporting infinity

infdate

Python module for date calculations implementing a concept of infinity

The Date class provided in this package wraps the standard library’s datetime.date class and adds the capability to specify dates in positive (after everything else) or negative (before everything else) infinity, and to do calculations (add days, or subtract days or other Date instances) with these objects.

For easier usage, differences are expressed as integers (1 = one day) or floats (inf and -inf only).

These capabilities can come handy when dealing with API representations of dates, eg. in GitLab’s Personal Access Tokens API.
