pyutillib 0.1.0

==================================================
pyutillib - A library of general utility functions
==================================================

Python Utility Library is a small collection of functions in several categories.


Date functions
==============

In order to use a date function you need to::

import pyutillib.date_utils

Working with date strings
-------------------------

In order to have an unambiguous relation between a date in string and datetime
format, only a limited number of formats is available. The default is often
good enough.

Usage ::

>>> import pyutillib.date_utils as du
>>> du.datestr2date('20001231')
datetime.date(2000, 12, 31)
>>> du.datestr2date('12/31/2000')
datetime.date(2000, 12, 31)
>>> du.datestr2date('31-12-2000')
datetime.date(2000, 12, 31)

>>> import datetime
>>> d = datetime.date(2000, 12, 31)
>>> du.date2datestr(d)
'20001231'
>>> du.date2datestr(d, 'd-m-yy')
'31-12-00'
>>> du.date2datestr(d, 'd-m-yyy')
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "pyutillib/date_utils.py", line 128, in date2datestr
raise ValueError('Invalid format string, year must have 2 or 4 digits')
ValueError: Invalid format string, year must have 2 or 4 digits
>>> du.date2datestr(d, 'mm/dd/yyyy')
'12/31/2000'
>>> du.date2datestr(d, 'yymmdd')
'001231'
