larztime

Human-friendly time — durations and relative time, in words people can read.

"93784 seconds" means nothing to a person; "1 day, 2 hours, 3 minutes" does. larztime turns durations into readable words (and back), formats clocks, and says things like "3 minutes ago" — all from plain numbers you pass in, so it's fully deterministic and testable (it never reads the system clock for you). Zero dependencies.

Install

pip install larztime

Use

from larztime import humanize, short, clock, parse_duration, ago

humanize(93784)            # '1 day, 2 hours, 3 minutes, 4 seconds'
short(93784)               # '1d 2h 3m 4s'
clock(3725)                # '01:02:05'
parse_duration("1h30m")    # 5400
ago(100, 400)              # '5 minutes ago'   (then=100, now=400)
