Shorthand datetime

Simple package to parse shorthand datetime strings

Using the package

from shorthand_datetime.shorthand import parse_shorthand_datetime

s = 'now-7d'
dt = parse_shorthand_datetime(s)

Typical examples

• now-7d : current timestamp minus 7d

• now/d : today, rounded to the start of the day

• now-7d/d: 7 days ago, rounded to the start of the day

• now/M : first day of this month

• now-1M/M : first day of previous month
