Project description

datetime2

https://readthedocs.org/projects/datetime2/badge/?version=stable https://img.shields.io/pypi/v/datetime2.svg https://img.shields.io/pypi/status/datetime2.svg https://img.shields.io/pypi/pyversions/datetime2.svg Build Status https://img.shields.io/pypi/l/datetime2.svg

The datetime2 module provides similar features to those given by the standard datetime module, adding the capability of constructing and representing date and time in many formats. Additionally, it removes a few limits that the original package has.

datetime2 is a one-man, free-time work. Project is hosted at GitHub, please follow the source code link on the right to see the latest version of this page (e.g. for an updated release map).

Current and future releases

Current:

  • 0.9.4: Implementation of WesternTimeDelta

Planned:

  • 1.0: Implementation of DateTime, first production release

  • 1.1: Implementation of Julian and Hebrew calendars

Project objectives

  • Decoupling between operations on date and time objects and their representation.

  • Access to different calendars, for input parsing and output formatting.

  • Access to different time representations, also for input and output.

  • Infinite precision in converting between different time representations.

  • Ability to dynamically register new formatting classes.

  • Internationalization.

  • Implementation of the part of the Unicode Locale Database concerned with dates and times.

  • Interface with other Python modules or inclusion of their functionalities in submodules.

These objectives are very long term ones, which I am setting because I think it is important to establish a direction for the project.
