Use

Parsing datetimes

To parse a typical ISO 8601 datetime string::

import aniso8601 from relativetimebuilder import RelativeTimeBuilder aniso8601.parse_datetime('1977-06-10T12:00:00', builder=RelativeTimeBuilder) datetime.datetime(1977, 6, 10, 12, 0)

Alternative delimiters can be specified, for example, a space::

aniso8601.parse_datetime('1977-06-10 12:00:00', delimiter=' ', builder=RelativeTimeBuilder) datetime.datetime(1977, 6, 10, 12, 0)

Both UTC (Z) and UTC offsets for timezones are supported::

aniso8601.parse_datetime('1977-06-10T12:00:00Z', builder=RelativeTimeBuilder) datetime.datetime(1977, 6, 10, 12, 0, tzinfo=+0:00:00 UTC) aniso8601.parse_datetime('1979-06-05T08:00:00-08:00', builder=RelativeTimeBuilder) datetime.datetime(1979, 6, 5, 8, 0, tzinfo=-8:00:00 UTC)

Leap seconds are explicitly not supported::

aniso8601.parse_datetime('2018-03-06T23:59:60', builder=RelativeTimeBuilder) Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in File "/home/nielsenb/Jetfuse/aniso8601/aniso8601/aniso8601/time.py", line 132, in parse_datetime return builder.build_datetime(datepart, timepart) File "/home/nielsenb/Jetfuse/aniso8601/aniso8601/aniso8601/builders/python.py", line 181, in build_datetime cls._build_object(time)) File "/home/nielsenb/Jetfuse/aniso8601/aniso8601/aniso8601/builders/init.py", line 64, in _build_object ss=parsetuple[2], tz=parsetuple[3]) File "/home/nielsenb/Jetfuse/aniso8601/aniso8601/aniso8601/builders/python.py", line 141, in build_time raise LeapSecondError('Leap seconds are not supported.') aniso8601.exceptions.LeapSecondError: Leap seconds are not supported.

Parsing dates

To parse a date represented in an ISO 8601 string::

import aniso8601 from relativetimebuilder import RelativeTimeBuilder aniso8601.parse_date('1984-04-23', builder=RelativeTimeBuilder) datetime.date(1984, 4, 23)

Basic format is supported as well::

aniso8601.parse_date('19840423', builder=RelativeTimeBuilder) datetime.date(1984, 4, 23)

To parse a date using the ISO 8601 week date format::

aniso8601.parse_date('1986-W38-1', builder=RelativeTimeBuilder) datetime.date(1986, 9, 15)

To parse an ISO 8601 ordinal date::

aniso8601.parse_date('1988-132', builder=RelativeTimeBuilder) datetime.date(1988, 5, 11)

Parsing times

To parse a time formatted as an ISO 8601 string::

import aniso8601 from relativetimebuilder import RelativeTimeBuilder aniso8601.parse_time('11:31:14', builder=RelativeTimeBuilder) datetime.time(11, 31, 14)

As with all of the above, basic format is supported::

aniso8601.parse_time('113114', builder=RelativeTimeBuilder) datetime.time(11, 31, 14)

A UTC offset can be specified for times::

aniso8601.parse_time('17:18:19-02:30', builder=RelativeTimeBuilder) datetime.time(17, 18, 19, tzinfo=-2:30:00 UTC) aniso8601.parse_time('171819Z', builder=RelativeTimeBuilder) datetime.time(17, 18, 19, tzinfo=+0:00:00 UTC)

Reduced accuracy is supported::

aniso8601.parse_time('21:42', builder=RelativeTimeBuilder) datetime.time(21, 42) aniso8601.parse_time('22', builder=RelativeTimeBuilder) datetime.time(22, 0)

A decimal fraction is always allowed on the lowest order element of an ISO 8601 formatted time::

aniso8601.parse_time('22:33.5', builder=RelativeTimeBuilder) datetime.time(22, 33, 30) aniso8601.parse_time('23.75', builder=RelativeTimeBuilder) datetime.time(23, 45)

Leap seconds are explicitly not supported and attempting to parse one raises a :code:LeapSecondError::

aniso8601.parse_time('23:59:60', builder=RelativeTimeBuilder) Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in File "/home/nielsenb/Jetfuse/aniso8601/aniso8601/aniso8601/time.py", line 117, in parse_time return _RESOLUTION_MAP[get_time_resolution(timestr)](timestr, tz, builder) File "/home/nielsenb/Jetfuse/aniso8601/aniso8601/aniso8601/time.py", line 166, in _parse_second_time return builder.build_time(hh=hourstr, mm=minutestr, ss=secondstr, tz=tz) File "/home/nielsenb/Jetfuse/aniso8601/aniso8601/aniso8601/builders/python.py", line 141, in build_time raise LeapSecondError('Leap seconds are not supported.') aniso8601.exceptions.LeapSecondError: Leap seconds are not supported.

Parsing durations

Parsing durations returns :code:relativedelta objects from dateutil <https://dateutil.readthedocs.io/en/stable/relativedelta.html>_ for calendar level accuracy.

To parse a duration formatted as an ISO 8601 string::

import aniso8601 from relativetimebuilder import RelativeTimeBuilder aniso8601.parse_duration('P1Y2M3DT4H54M6S', builder=RelativeTimeBuilder) relativedelta(years=+1, months=+2, days=+3, hours=+4, minutes=+54, seconds=+6)

Reduced accuracy is supported::

aniso8601.parse_duration('P1Y', builder=RelativeTimeBuilder) relativedelta(years=+1)

A decimal fraction is allowed on the lowest order element::

aniso8601.parse_duration('P1YT3.5M', builder=RelativeTimeBuilder) relativedelta(years=+1, minutes=+3.5)

The decimal fraction can be specified with a comma instead of a full-stop::

aniso8601.parse_duration('P1YT3,5M', builder=RelativeTimeBuilder) relativedelta(years=+1, minutes=+3.5)

Decimal fractions are not supported for years or months as calendar level accuracy would not be guaranteed::

aniso8601.parse_duration('P1Y2.5M', builder=RelativeTimeBuilder) Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in File "/home/nielsenb/Jetfuse/aniso8601/aniso8601/aniso8601/duration.py", line 30, in parse_duration return _parse_duration_prescribed(isodurationstr, builder) File "/home/nielsenb/Jetfuse/aniso8601/aniso8601/aniso8601/duration.py", line 75, in _parse_duration_prescribed return _parse_duration_prescribed_notime(durationstr, builder) File "/home/nielsenb/Jetfuse/aniso8601/aniso8601/aniso8601/duration.py", line 119, in _parse_duration_prescribed_notime PnW=weekstr, PnD=daystr) File "relativetimebuilder/init.py", line 24, in build_duration raise RelativeValueError('Fractional months and years are not ' relativetimebuilder.RelativeValueError: Fractional months and years are not defined for relative durations. aniso8601.parse_duration('P1.5Y', builder=RelativeTimeBuilder) Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in File "/home/nielsenb/Jetfuse/aniso8601/aniso8601/aniso8601/duration.py", line 30, in parse_duration return _parse_duration_prescribed(isodurationstr, builder) File "/home/nielsenb/Jetfuse/aniso8601/aniso8601/aniso8601/duration.py", line 75, in _parse_duration_prescribed return _parse_duration_prescribed_notime(durationstr, builder) File "/home/nielsenb/Jetfuse/aniso8601/aniso8601/aniso8601/duration.py", line 119, in _parse_duration_prescribed_notime PnW=weekstr, PnD=daystr) File "relativetimebuilder/init.py", line 24, in build_duration raise RelativeValueError('Fractional months and years are not ' relativetimebuilder.RelativeValueError: Fractional months and years are not defined for relative durations.

Parsing a duration from a combined date and time is supported as well::

aniso8601.parse_duration('P0001-01-02T01:30:5', builder=RelativeTimeBuilder) relativedelta(years=+1, months=+1, days=+2, hours=+1, minutes=+30, seconds=+5)

Parsing intervals

Intervals are built using :code:relativedelta objects from dateutil <https://dateutil.readthedocs.io/en/stable/relativedelta.html>_ for calendar level accuracy.

To parse an interval specified by a start and end::

import aniso8601 from relativetimebuilder import RelativeTimeBuilder aniso8601.parse_interval('2007-03-01T13:00:00/2008-05-11T15:30:00', builder=RelativeTimeBuilder) (datetime.datetime(2007, 3, 1, 13, 0), datetime.datetime(2008, 5, 11, 15, 30))

Intervals specified by a start time and a duration are supported::

aniso8601.parse_interval('2007-03-01T13:00:00/P1Y2M10DT2H30M', builder=RelativeTimeBuilder) (datetime.datetime(2007, 3, 1, 13, 0), datetime.datetime(2008, 5, 11, 15, 30))

A duration can also be specified by a duration and end time::

aniso8601.parse_interval('P1M/1981-04-05', builder=RelativeTimeBuilder) (datetime.date(1981, 4, 5), datetime.date(1981, 3, 5))

Notice that the result of the above parse is not in order from earliest to latest. If sorted intervals are required, simply use the :code:sorted keyword as shown below::

sorted(aniso8601.parse_interval('P1M/1981-04-05', builder=RelativeTimeBuilder)) [datetime.date(1981, 3, 5), datetime.date(1981, 4, 5)]

The end of an interval is returned as a :code:datetime when required to maintain the resolution specified by a duration, even if the duration start is given as a date::

aniso8601.parse_interval('2014-11-12/PT4H54M6.5S', builder=RelativeTimeBuilder) (datetime.date(2014, 11, 12), datetime.datetime(2014, 11, 12, 4, 54, 6, 500000)) aniso8601.parse_interval('2007-03-01/P1.5D', builder=RelativeTimeBuilder) (datetime.date(2007, 3, 1), datetime.datetime(2007, 3, 2, 12, 0))

Repeating intervals are supported as well, and return a generator::

aniso8601.parse_repeating_interval('R3/1981-04-05/P1D', builder=RelativeTimeBuilder) <generator object _date_generator at 0x7f0862919fa0> list(aniso8601.parse_repeating_interval('R3/1981-04-05/P1D', builder=RelativeTimeBuilder)) [datetime.date(1981, 4, 5), datetime.date(1981, 4, 6), datetime.date(1981, 4, 7)]

Repeating intervals are allowed to go in the reverse direction::

list(aniso8601.parse_repeating_interval('R2/PT1H2M/1980-03-05T01:01:00', builder=RelativeTimeBuilder)) [datetime.datetime(1980, 3, 5, 1, 1), datetime.datetime(1980, 3, 4, 23, 59)]

Unbounded intervals are also allowed (Python 2)::

result = aniso8601.parse_repeating_interval('R/PT1H2M/1980-03-05T01:01:00', builder=RelativeTimeBuilder) result.next() datetime.datetime(1980, 3, 5, 1, 1) result.next() datetime.datetime(1980, 3, 4, 23, 59)

or for Python 3::

result = aniso8601.parse_repeating_interval('R/PT1H2M/1980-03-05T01:01:00', builder=RelativeTimeBuilder) next(result) datetime.datetime(1980, 3, 5, 1, 1) next(result) datetime.datetime(1980, 3, 4, 23, 59)

Intervals are calculated with calendar level accuracy::

aniso8601.parse_interval('2003-01-27/P1M', builder=RelativeTimeBuilder) (datetime.date(2003, 1, 27), datetime.date(2003, 2, 27)) aniso8601.parse_interval('2003-01-31/P1M', builder=RelativeTimeBuilder) (datetime.date(2003, 1, 31), datetime.date(2003, 2, 28)) aniso8601.parse_interval('P1Y/2001-02-28', builder=RelativeTimeBuilder) (datetime.date(2001, 2, 28), datetime.date(2000, 2, 28))

Fractional years and months do not make sense for relative intervals::

aniso8601.parse_interval('P1.1Y/2001-02-28', builder=RelativeTimeBuilder) Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in File "/home/nielsenb/Jetfuse/aniso8601/aniso8601/aniso8601/interval.py", line 40, in parse_interval intervaldelimiter, datetimedelimiter) File "/home/nielsenb/Jetfuse/aniso8601/aniso8601/aniso8601/interval.py", line 98, in _parse_interval return builder.build_interval(end=enddate, duration=duration) File "/home/nielsenb/Jetfuse/aniso8601/aniso8601/aniso8601/builders/python.py", line 311, in build_interval durationobject = cls._build_object(duration) File "/home/nielsenb/Jetfuse/aniso8601/aniso8601/aniso8601/builders/init.py", line 71, in _build_object TnS=parsetuple[6]) File "relativetimebuilder/init.py", line 24, in build_duration raise RelativeValueError('Fractional months and years are not ' relativetimebuilder.RelativeValueError: Fractional months and years are not defined for relative durations.
