Usage

Parsing duration strings

from philiprehberger_duration import parse

parse("2h30m")              # 9000.0
parse("1 day, 3 hours")    # 97200.0
parse("500ms")             # 0.5
parse("1w 2d")             # 777600.0
parse("2.5h")              # 9000.0
parse("150m")              # 9000.0

Formatting seconds

from philiprehberger_duration import format

format(9000)                        # "2h 30m"
format(9000, style="long")         # "2 hours, 30 minutes"
format(9000, style="colon")        # "2:30:00"
format(9000, style="iso")          # "PT2H30M"
format(90061.5, style="short")    # "1d 1h 1m 1s 500ms"

Duration object

from philiprehberger_duration import Duration

d = Duration.from_seconds(9000)
d.hours    # 2
d.minutes  # 30

# Arithmetic
d2 = d + Duration(minutes=15)
d3 = d * 2

# Convert to timedelta
td = d.to_timedelta()

# String representation (short format)
str(d)  # "2h 30m"

Timedelta conversion

from philiprehberger_duration import Duration

d = Duration(hours=1, minutes=30, milliseconds=500)
td = d.to_timedelta()  # datetime.timedelta(seconds=5400, microseconds=500000)
