The `dateutil` module provides powerful extensions to
the standard `datetime` module, available in Python.
Download
========
dateutil is available on PyPI
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-dateutil/
The documentation is hosted at:
https://dateutil.readthedocs.io/
Code
====
https://github.com/dateutil/dateutil/
Features
========
* Computing of relative deltas (next month, next year,
next monday, last week of month, etc);
* Computing of relative deltas between two given
date and/or datetime objects;
* Computing of dates based on very flexible recurrence rules,
using a superset of the `iCalendar <https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2445.txt>`_
specification. Parsing of RFC strings is supported as well.
* Generic parsing of dates in almost any string format;
* Timezone (tzinfo) implementations for tzfile(5) format
files (/etc/localtime, /usr/share/zoneinfo, etc), TZ
environment string (in all known formats), iCalendar
format files, given ranges (with help from relative deltas),
local machine timezone, fixed offset timezone, UTC timezone,
and Windows registry-based time zones.
* Internal up-to-date world timezone information based on
Olson's database.
* Computing of Easter Sunday dates for any given year,
using Western, Orthodox or Julian algorithms;
* A comprehensive test suite.
Quick example
=============
Here's a snapshot, just to give an idea about the power of the
package. For more examples, look at the documentation.
Suppose you want to know how much time is left, in
years/months/days/etc, before the next easter happening on a
year with a Friday 13th in August, and you want to get today's
date out of the "date" unix system command. Here is the code:
.. doctest:: readmeexample
>>> from dateutil.relativedelta import *
>>> from dateutil.easter import *
>>> from dateutil.rrule import *
>>> from dateutil.parser import *
>>> from datetime import *
>>> now = parse("Sat Oct 11 17:13:46 UTC 2003")
>>> today = now.date()
>>> year = rrule(YEARLY,dtstart=now,bymonth=8,bymonthday=13,byweekday=FR)[0].year
>>> rdelta = relativedelta(easter(year), today)
>>> print("Today is: %s" % today)
Today is: 2003-10-11
>>> print("Year with next Aug 13th on a Friday is: %s" % year)
Year with next Aug 13th on a Friday is: 2004
>>> print("How far is the Easter of that year: %s" % rdelta)
How far is the Easter of that year: relativedelta(months=+6)
>>> print("And the Easter of that year is: %s" % (today+rdelta))
And the Easter of that year is: 2004-04-11
Being exactly 6 months ahead was **really** a coincidence :)
