strptime

Installation

Installing with uv tool:

uv tool install strptime-cli

Installing with pipx:

pipx install strptime-cli

You can also install globally strptime-cli with pip, but I usually recommend installing command-line tools in their own separate environment.

Usage

Run strptime with a date string to see the format string you would need to pass to datetime.datetime.strptime to parse the date:

$ strptime "2030-01-24 05:45"
%Y-%m-%d %H:%M

Development

This project uses uv and just. Run just to see every available task.

$ just test     # run the test suite
$ just check    # format, lint, and test

No setup step is needed: uv creates the virtual environment and installs dependencies on the first uv run.

To run the tests on every supported Python version:

just test-all

If you would rather not install just, every task is a short uv command that you can run directly (check the justfile for the commands):

uv run pytest

Releasing

Releases are published to PyPI by GitHub Actions whenever a v* tag is pushed. From an up-to-date main:

$ just bump minor              # or patch, or major
$ git commit -am "Version 0.5.0"
$ just release

The release task refuses to run unless the checks pass, the working tree is clean, and you are on main. It then tags the current version and pushes, which triggers the release workflow.
