This project contains a library which converts an ISO date/time string into a range.

Usage

The module contains one function - get_date_range - which converts a given ISO date/time string into a range and returns this range as a list. It is used as follows:

import isodaterange

range = isodaterange.get_date_range("2019-07")
# returns [datetime.datetime(2019, 7, 1, 0, 0, 0), datetime.datetime(2019, 7, 31, 23, 59, 59)]

range = isodaterange.get_date_range("2019-04-01/2019-06-23")
# returns [datetime.datetime(2019, 4, 1, 0, 0, 0), datetime.datetime(2019, 6, 23, 23, 59, 59)]

range = isodaterange.get_date_range("P1Y")
# returns [now, date one year from now]

Testing

There is a tests module which contains unit tests. This can be run as follows:

python3 -m unittest isodaterange.tests
