How to use
The ago module comes with three functions:
human
delta2human
delta2dict
You really only need to worry about human:
from ago import human, delta2human, delta2dict from datetime import datetime # pretend this was stored in database d1 = datetime( year = 2010, month=5, day=4, hour=6, minute=54, second=33, microsecond=4000 ) # to find out how long ago, use the human function print 'Created ' + human( d1 ) + ' ago.' # optionally pass a precision print 'Created ' + human( d1, 3 ) + ' ago.' print 'Created ' + human( d1, 6 ) + ' ago.'
Now we will document how to use delta2human and delta2dict:
# pretend we already have a timedelta object # subtract two datetime objects for a timedelta object d2 = datetime.now() delta = d2 - d1 # display a human readable timedelta from a timedelta print 'Created ' + delta2human( delta ) + ' ago.' # create a dictionary out of the timedelta delta_dict = delta2dict( delta ) print delta_dict
