timezone-tools 0.1.0.post1

Tools for working with timezone-aware datetimes.

timezone-tools

Helpers for working with timezone-aware date-times.

This package provides:

• TimezoneConverter for making date-times timezone-aware and converting between timezones.
• Clock for getting the current time/date in a specific timezone.

TimezoneConverter

This converter object can be used to create timezone-aware datetime objects, to make a naive datetime timezone-aware, and to localize other timezone-aware datetime objects.

The converter also provides utilities for converting a datetime into a date in the converter's timezone, calculating dates and time relative to a datetime, and rounding a datetime to the nearest increment of time (e.g. to the nearest half-hour).

Create an instance of the timezone converter by passing it an IANA time zone name.

from timezone_tools import TimezoneConverter

paris_time = TimezoneConverter("Europe/Paris")

For more information about timezone support in Python, see the documentation for the zoneinfo module.

Clock

This clock object can be used to access the system clock and provides timezone-aware dates and times.

The clock also provides utilities for calculating dates and time relative to the current moment.

Create an instance of the clock by passing it an IANA time zone name.

from timezone_tools import Clock

paris_time = Clock("Europe/Paris")
