rs = SunriseSunset(dt, lat=35.9513, lon=83.9142, zenith='official')
rise_time, set_time = rs.sun_rise_set
print(f"     Sunrise: {rise_time}")
print(f"      Sunset: {set_time}")
print(f"    Is night: {rs.is_night()}\n")

Running the Test

The pip installed package will not be enough to run the test. You will also need to pip install geopy and timezonefinder.

There is a more complete example in the test at the end of the `sunrisesunset.py` file.

You will be asked for an address, just a city name is okay. Then you will be asked for the time. It takes an ISO formatted time at minimum the year, month, and day needs to be entered.

python sunrisesunset/sunrisesunset.py

Enter an address: Chicago
Chicago, Cook County, Illinois, United States
Enter date in ISO format (yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss): 2023-12-16 12
