Methods for formatting and parsing friendly timestamps

Here are some methods for formatting and parsing friendly timestamps.

Installation

easy_install -U whenIO

Usage

>>> import whenIO
>>> import datetime
>>> w = whenIO.WhenIO(timezone='US/Eastern')

>>> w.format(datetime.datetime.now(), fromUTC=False)
'Today 2:30pm'
>>> w.format(datetime.datetime.utcnow())
'Today 2:30pm'
>>> w.format(datetime.datetime.utcnow(), forceDate=True)
'Today 3/10/2013 2:30pm'
>>> date1 = datetime.datetime(2000, 1, 1, 0, 0)
>>> date2 = datetime.datetime(2000, 1, 1, 1, 0)
>>> w.format([date1, date2], fromUTC=False)
'1/1/2000 12am 1am'

>>> w.parse('10am', toUTC=False)[0]
[datetime.datetime(2013, 3, 10, 10, 0)]
>>> w.parse('today 10am', toUTC=False)[0]
[datetime.datetime(2013, 3, 10, 10, 0)]
>>> w.parse('tom 8pm', toUTC=False)[0]
[datetime.datetime(2013, 3, 11, 20, 0)]
>>> w.parse('mon 10am 12pm', toUTC=False)[0]
[datetime.datetime(2013, 3, 11, 10, 0),
 datetime.datetime(2013, 3, 11, 12, 0)]

>>> rdelta = whenIO.parse_duration('111 weeks')
>>> whenIO.format_duration(rdelta)
'2 years 3 months 3 weeks'
>>> whenIO.format_duration(rdelta, precision=2, style='abbreviations')
'2 yrs 4 mos'
