What Is This?
Timespans allow you to check if a timestamp falls within a specified list of boundaries. For example, you might want to program your phone system to only accept calls Mon-Fri from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. except on holidays like Christmas.
Timespans are specified in the form of times|daysofweek|days|months. If your timespan starts with !, it’ll only match if the timestamps falls outside the given range.
Basic example:
import timespan from datetime import datetime business_hours = [ '9:00-17:00|mon-fri|*|*', # is between 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Mon to Fri '!*|*|1|jan', # not new years '!*|*|25|dec', # not christmas '!*|thu|22-28|nov', # not thanksgiving ] if timespan.match(business_hours, datetime.now()): print "we're open for business!" else: print "sorry, we're closed :("
For more examples, see the documentation or source code.
