Introducing License Enforcement in Socket
Ensure open-source compliance with Socket’s License Enforcement Beta. Set up your License Policy and secure your software!
A small Python 3 library containing some handy tools for handling time, especially when it comes to interfacing with those pesky humans.
.. code:: bash
$ pip install chronyk
Basic:
.. code:: python
>>> from chronyk import Chronyk
>>> t = Chronyk(1410531179.0)
>>> t = Chronyk("May 2nd, 2016 12:51 am")
>>> t = Chronyk("yesterday")
>>> t = Chronyk("21. 8. 1976 23:18")
>>> t = Chronyk("2 days and 30 hours ago")
>>> t.ctime()
'Tue Sep 9 05:59:39 2014'
>>> t.timestamp()
1410235179.0
>>> t.timestring()
'2014-09-09 05:59:39'
>>> t.timestring("%Y-%m-%d")
'2014-09-09'
>>> t.relativestring()
'3 days ago'
>>> t.date()
datetime.date(2014, 9, 9)
>>> t.datetime()
datetime.datetime(2014, 9, 9, 5, 59, 39)
Input validation:
.. code:: python
import sys
import chronyk
timestr = input("Please enter the date you were born: ")
try:
date = chronyk.Chronyk(timestr, allowfuture=False)
except chronyk.DateRangeError:
print("Yeah, right.")
sys.exit(1)
except ValueError:
print("Failed to parse birthdate.")
sys.exit(1)
else:
print("You were born {}".format(date.relativestring()))
Timezones:
By default, the Chronyk constructor uses local time, and every method by default uses whatever was passed to the constructor as well.
Almost all methods, however, have a timezone keyargument that you can use to define your local offset from UTC in seconds (positive for west, negative for east).
If you want to use a certain timezone for more than one method, you can
also change the timezone
instance attribute itself:
.. code:: python
>>> t = Chronyk("4 hours ago", timezone=0) # using UTC
>>> t.ctime()
'Tue Sep 9 10:53:42 2014'
>>> t.timezone = -3600 # changes to CET (UTC+1)
>>> t.relativeTime()
'5 hours ago'
>>> t.ctime()
'Tue Sep 9 09:53:42 2014'
This uses the local relative time and returns a time string relative to current UTC:
.. code:: python
>>> t = Chronyk("4 hours ago")
>>> t.relativestring(timezone=0)
'3 hours ago'
This uses a UTC timestamp and returns a time string relative to local time:
.. code:: python
>>> t = Chronyk(1410524713.69, timezone=0)
>>> t.relativestring(timezone=chronyk.LOCALTZ)
'2 hours ago'
