Timeless sits on sholders of giants to provide a simple and easy to use datetime toolkit. Simple date ranges, datetime operations and just one import.
This package is a work in progress and it was created as a study object.
- ✔️ very simple API
- ✔️ minimal code to get things done
- ✔️ easy use with other packages
- ✔️ just one import
- ✔️ few dependencies
pip install timeless
It provides a simple API, heavily inspired by Pendulum.
I love Pendulum, although since last year (maybe 2 years) it doesn't seem to be actively maintained. If you like Pendulum, you will like Timeless. If you want a easy to adopt, integrate and expand package, you will like Timeless.
Timeless use two main concepts: Datetime
and Period
. A datetime is a point in Time, and a Period is a duration.
Timeless doesn`t differentiate between datetime and date objects.
All datetimes are assumed to be in the UTC+00:00 timezone if any other timezone isn`t specified.
import timeless
start = timeless.datetime(1900, 1, 1, zone="UTC")
end = start.add(years=1)
end.subtract(months=1)
start.set(year=2099, month=2, day=26, hour=5, zone="America/Sao_Paulo")
start.is_past() # True
start.is_future() # False
start.set(year=2099).is_future() # True
The docs are under development, but it's (very) early stage is already available.
Timeless relies on Poetry.
Install the Python dependencies with:
poetry install
poetry run pytest --cov=timeless tests/
