pyoda-time 0.10.0

An alternative datetime library for Python.

Pyoda Time

Pyoda Time is an alternative date and time API for Python.

It helps you to think about your data more clearly, and express operations on that data more precisely.

This project is a Python port of Noda Time, an alternative DateTime library for .NET (which in turn was inspired by Joda Time).

The project goal is to provide a powerful alternative for time management in Python, drawing inspiration from the strengths of Noda Time and adapting them to a Pythonic API.

Quick Start

Installation:

pip install pyoda-time

Examples:

from pyoda_time import *

# Instant represents time from epoch
now: Instant = SystemClock.instance.get_current_instant()

# Convert an instant to a ZonedDateTime
now_in_iso_utc: ZonedDateTime = now.in_utc()

# Create a duration
duration: Duration = Duration.from_minutes(3)

# Add it to our ZonedDateTime
then_in_iso_utc: ZonedDateTime = now_in_iso_utc + duration

# Time zone support
london = DateTimeZoneProviders.tzdb["Europe/London"]

# Time zone conversions
local_date = LocalDateTime(2012, 3, 27, 0, 45, 0)
before = london.at_strictly(local_date)
