timepiece 0.2.6

Why the name?

Because time_spec was uninspiring and a good friend suggested timepiece.

Naming things is difficult!

But why?

Because I wanted to represent when scheduled actions should take place and I was starting to have too many columns in my database representing everything I wanted to be able to do.

Installation

Use pip!:

pip install timepiece

Or if you’re developing it:

pip install -e .
pip install -e ".[tests]"

Usage

Just create the timepiece and give it a specification!

from timepiece.spec import make_timepiece

from datetime import datetime

timepiece = make_timepiece()

obj = timepiece.time_spec_to_object("between(start: now()) & interval(every: amount(num:1 size: hour))")

print("Next time is: ", obj.following(datetime.utcnow()))

See The docs at https://timepiece.readthedocs.io for more information!
