Simple dates (and times, and timezones)
Project description
A wrapper around the datetime, pytz and tzlocal packages for Python 3 (first release; developed and tested on Python 3.3). Full docs on github.
Examples
Just give me a UTC datetime for these dates!:
>>> for date in '1/6/2013 BST', '1/6/2013 EST', 'Tue, 18 Jun 2013 12:19:09 -0400': >>> print(best_guess_utc(date)) 2013-05-31 23:00:00+00:00 2013-01-06 05:00:00+00:00 2013-06-18 16:19:09+00:00
What time is it now, in New York?:
>>> SimpleDate(tz='America/New_York') SimpleDate('2013-06-14 13:14:17.295943 EDT', tz='America/New_York')
And what time is that in the UK (the country code is for Great Britain)?:
>>> SimpleDate('2013-06-14 13:14:17.295943 EDT').convert(country='GB') SimpleDate('2013-06-14 18:14:17.295943 BST', tz='Europe/London')
What is the UTC for this email date?:
>>> SimpleDate('Fri, 14 Jun 2013 13:13:42 -0400').utc SimpleDate('Fri, 14 Jun 2013 17:13:42 +0000', tz='UTC')
What’s the date a week from now (I live in Chile)?:
>>> SimpleDate() + timedelta(days=7) SimpleDate('2013-06-21 13:55:20.791519 CLT', tz='America/Santiago')
The day of the week for Xmas this year?:
>>> SimpleDate(2013, 12, 24).weekday 1
And as a naive datetime?:
>>> SimpleDate(2013, 12, 24).naive.datetime datetime.datetime(2013, 12, 24, 0, 0)
What’s the time in EST for epoch 1234567890?:
>>> SimpleDate(1234567890, tz='EST') AmbiguousTimezone: 3 distinct timezones found: <'EST'>; <'Australia/NSW'>; ...
Whoa! What are those crazy Australians doing? Let’s force the USA (only):
>>> SimpleDate(1234567890, tz='EST', country='US') SimpleDate('2009-02-13 18:31:30.000000 EST')
Alternatively, we could give priority to the USA and take the first solution we find:
>>> SimpleDate(1234567890, tz='EST', country=prefer('US'), unsafe=True) SimpleDate('2009-02-13 18:31:30.000000 EST')
And what day is that?:
>>> SimpleDate(1234567890, tz='EST', country=prefer('US'), unsafe=True).strftime('%A') 'Friday'
