unic
unic is a lightweight Python library for time unit conversions and Unix timestamp conversions:
- time units (
hour,min,sec,msec) - Unix timestamps to
datetime/date - datetime strings to Unix timestamps
It is designed for simple scripting, data processing, analytics, and timestamp handling.
Installation
pip install unic
Quick Start
import unic
# Time conversion
time_model = unic.load_model("time")
print(time_model.convert(2, from_unit="hour", to_unit="min")) # 120
# Unixtime -> datetime
datetime_model = unic.load_model("datetime")
print(datetime_model.convert(1657985494, format="datetime"))
# String datetime -> unixtime
unixtime_model = unic.load_model("unixtime")
print(unixtime_model.convert("2022-07-18 13:49:00", tz="Asia/Tokyo"))
Supported Conversions
TimeModel
hour/min/sec/msec
DatetimeModel
- unixtime ->
datetime.datetime - unixtime ->
datetime.date
UnixtimeModel
- datetime string -> unixtime
- supported formats:
yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ssyyyy/mm/dd hh:mm:ss
Examples
Convert a single value
import unic
model = unic.load_model("time")
result = model.convert(7.5, from_unit="hour", to_unit="min")
print(result) # 450
Convert a list of values
import unic
model = unic.load_model("time")
result = model.convert([2, 4, 6], from_unit="hour", to_unit="min")
print(result) # [120, 240, 360]
Convert unixtime to datetime
import unic
model = unic.load_model("datetime")
result = model.convert(1657985494, format="datetime", tz="Asia/Tokyo")
print(result)
Convert datetime string to unixtime
import unic
model = unic.load_model("unixtime")
result = model.convert("2022-07-18 13:49:00.123", unit="msec")
print(result)
Notes
convert()supports both single values and lists.convert_batch()is deprecated. Please useconvert()with a list instead.- If
unitis omitted inUnixtimeModel, the default issec.
