py-humantime

A production-ready Python package and CLI tool to convert between seconds and human-readable time strings.

Features

• Convert seconds to human-readable time (e.g., 1h 2m 3s)
• Convert human-readable time to seconds (e.g., 1h 2m 3s → 3723)
• Simple, extensible, and dependency-free
• Usable as both a CLI tool and Python module
• Helpful error messages and input validation
• Fully tested and ready for PyPI/GitHub

Installation

pip install py-humantime

Development install

pip install .

CLI Usage

Convert seconds to human-readable:

py-humantime --to-human 4523        # → 1h 15m 23s

Convert human-readable to seconds:

py-humantime --to-seconds "1h 15m"  # → 4500

Python Usage

from pyhumantime import seconds_to_human, human_to_seconds

print(seconds_to_human(4523))          # → '1h 15m 23s'
print(human_to_seconds("1h 15m 23s"))  # → 4523

Error Handling Example

from pyhumantime import human_to_seconds

try:
    print(human_to_seconds('notatime'))
except ValueError as e:
    print('Error:', e)

Extensibility

• The core logic is OOP-based and can be extended to support new units (e.g., milliseconds, days) by subclassing or enhancing HumanTimeConverter in pyhumantime/core.py.
