sktimeutils

This package provides Universal Time conversion functions used by the usask-arg group. The code tries to be friendly for arrays, sequences and scalars. This package currently supports UT time expressed as strings, modified julian dates expressed as floats, Python DateTime and numpy Datetime64. We typically use the package to process
arrays of measurement times read in from data records stored in netcdf files or similar. The code is focussed on Universal Time and has no provision for handling time zone conversions etc. Nor do we attempt to rigorously manage leap-seconds and other earth-rotation issues.

Installation

pip install sktimeutils

We recommend running the unit tests, see below, after installation to download Earth rotation data files.

Building a wheel

The python wheel can also be built from source code,

conda install setuptools build
python -m build --wheel

Usage

Documentation can be found at ReadTheDocs sktimeutils

Unit Tests

It is useful to run the unit tests as the tests will automatically download leap-second files and earth rotation information. Needless to say you must have an internet connection to successfully run the unit tests

python -m unittest discover -s sktimeutils.tests
