Form and model fields for storing durations on Django models as ISO 8601 compliant strings, and returning relativedelta objects.
Project description
Welcome to thecut-durationfield
This app provides a custom Django model field, RelativeDeltaField, and related form fields and widgets. RelativeDeltaField stores time durations using ISO 8601 representations, and returns dateutil.relativedelta objects which may be used directly with datetime.datetime objects.
This project was inspired by packages such as django-durationfield. However, this project focuses on:
providing a database-agnostic, standards-compliant way of storing the durations in the database (using ISO 8601).
returning dateutil.relativedelta objects that can be used to perform calculations on datetime.datetime objects.
Note that django-durationfield provides the ability to filter querysets based on the relative size of the stored duration, which is not possible with this project. I.e., you can’t use __lt and __gt etc., when filtering by fields provided by this project.

Quickstart
Install thecut-durationfield using the installation instructions found in the documentation.
Model field
from django.db import models
from datetime import datetime
from thecut.durationfield.models import RelativeDeltaField
class MyModel(models.Model):
duration = RelativeDeltaField(blank=True, null=True)
my_instance = MyModel(duration='P7D')
datetime(2014, 1, 1) + my_instance.duration # datetime(2014, 1, 8, 0, 0)Form field
Two form fields are provided: RelativeDeltaChoiceField and RelativeDeltaTextInput:
from django import forms
from thecut.durationfield.models import RelativeDeltaChoiceField
DURATIONS = [
('', 'Never'),
('P7D', 'One week'),
('P1M', 'One month'),
]
class MyForm(forms.ModelForm):
duration = RelativeDeltaChoiceField(choices=DURATIONS)or, if you’d prefer to type in the (ISO 8601 compliant) value manually:
from django import forms
from thecut.durationfield.forms import RelativeDeltaTextInput
class MyForm(forms.ModelForm):
duration = RelativeDeltaTextInput()Credits
