A library for parsing ISO 8601 strings.
pip install aniso8601==10.0.1
The recommended installation method is to use pip:
$ pip install aniso8601
Alternatively, you can download the source (git repository hosted at Bitbucket) and install directly:
$ python setup.py install
To parse a typical ISO 8601 datetime string:
>>> import aniso8601
>>> aniso8601.parse_datetime('1977-06-10T12:00:00Z')
datetime.datetime(1977, 6, 10, 12, 0, tzinfo=+0:00:00 UTC)
Alternative delimiters can be specified, for example, a space:
>>> aniso8601.parse_datetime('1977-06-10 12:00:00Z', delimiter=' ')
datetime.datetime(1977, 6, 10, 12, 0, tzinfo=+0:00:00 UTC)
UTC offsets are supported:
>>> aniso8601.parse_datetime('1979-06-05T08:00:00-08:00')
datetime.datetime(1979, 6, 5, 8, 0, tzinfo=-8:00:00 UTC)
If a UTC offset is not specified, the returned datetime will be naive:
>>> aniso8601.parse_datetime('1983-01-22T08:00:00')
datetime.datetime(1983, 1, 22, 8, 0)
Leap seconds are currently not supported and attempting to parse one raises a LeapSecondError:
>>> aniso8601.parse_datetime('2018-03-06T23:59:60')
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>

File "aniso8601/builder.py", line 253, in build_time
raise LeapSecondError('Leap seconds are not supported.')
aniso8601.exceptions.LeapSecondError: Leap seconds are not supported.
To parse a date represented in an ISO 8601 string:
>>> import aniso8601
>>> aniso8601.parse_date('1984-04-23')
datetime.date(1984, 4, 23)
Basic format is supported as well:
>>> aniso8601.parse_date('19840423')
datetime.date(1984, 4, 23)
To parse a date using the ISO 8601 week date format:
>>> aniso8601.parse_date('1986-W38-1')
datetime.date(1986, 9, 15)
To parse an ISO 8601 ordinal date:
>>> aniso8601.parse_date('1988-132')
datetime.date(1988, 5, 11)
To parse a time formatted as an ISO 8601 string:
>>> import aniso8601
>>> aniso8601.parse_time('11:31:14')
datetime.time(11, 31, 14)
As with all of the above, basic format is supported:
>>> aniso8601.parse_time('113114')
datetime.time(11, 31, 14)
A UTC offset can be specified for times:
>>> aniso8601.parse_time('17:18:19-02:30')
datetime.time(17, 18, 19, tzinfo=-2:30:00 UTC)
>>> aniso8601.parse_time('171819Z')
datetime.time(17, 18, 19, tzinfo=+0:00:00 UTC)
Reduced accuracy is supported:
>>> aniso8601.parse_time('21:42')
datetime.time(21, 42)
>>> aniso8601.parse_time('22')
datetime.time(22, 0)
A decimal fraction is always allowed on the lowest order element of an ISO 8601 formatted time:
>>> aniso8601.parse_time('22:33.5')
datetime.time(22, 33, 30)
>>> aniso8601.parse_time('23.75')
datetime.time(23, 45)
Leap seconds are currently not supported and attempting to parse one raises a LeapSecondError:
>>> aniso8601.parse_time('23:59:60')
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "aniso8601/time.py", line 116, in parse_time
return _RESOLUTION_MAP[get_time_resolution(timestr)](timestr, tz, builder)
File "aniso8601/time.py", line 165, in _parse_second_time
return builder.build_time(hh=hourstr, mm=minutestr, ss=secondstr, tz=tz)
File "aniso8601/builder.py", line 253, in build_time
raise LeapSecondError('Leap seconds are not supported.')
aniso8601.exceptions.LeapSecondError: Leap seconds are not supported.
To parse a duration formatted as an ISO 8601 string:
>>> import aniso8601
>>> aniso8601.parse_duration('P1Y2M3DT4H54M6S')
datetime.timedelta(428, 17646)
Reduced accuracy is supported:
>>> aniso8601.parse_duration('P1Y')
datetime.timedelta(365)
A decimal fraction is allowed on the lowest order element:
>>> aniso8601.parse_duration('P1YT3.5M')
datetime.timedelta(365, 210)
The decimal fraction can be specified with a comma instead of a full-stop:
>>> aniso8601.parse_duration('P1YT3,5M')
datetime.timedelta(365, 210)
Parsing a duration from a combined date and time is supported as well:
>>> aniso8601.parse_duration('P0001-01-02T01:30:5')
datetime.timedelta(397, 5405)
The relative kwarg is deprecated and will be removed in aniso8601 5.0.0, use builder=RelativeTimeBuilder instead.
The above treat years as 365 days and months as 30 days. If calendar level accuracy is required, the provided RelativeTimeBuilder can be used if dateutil is installed:
>>> import aniso8601
>>> from aniso8601.builder import RelativeTimeBuilder
>>> from datetime import date
>>> one_month = aniso8601.parse_duration('P1M', builder=RelativeTimeBuilder)
>>> two_months = aniso8601.parse_duration('P2M', builder=RelativeTimeBuilder)
>>> print one_month
relativedelta(months=+1)
>>> print two_months
relativedelta(months=+2)
>>> date(2003,1,27) + one_month
datetime.date(2003, 2, 27)
>>> date(2003,1,31) + one_month
datetime.date(2003, 2, 28)
>>> date(2003,1,31) + two_months
datetime.date(2003, 3, 31)
Alternatively, using the deprecated relative keyword:
>>> one_month = aniso8601.parse_duration('P1M', relative=True)
>>> two_months = aniso8601.parse_duration('P2M', relative=True)
>>> print one_month
relativedelta(months=+1)
>>> print two_months
relativedelta(months=+2)
>>> date(2003,1,27) + one_month
datetime.date(2003, 2, 27)
>>> date(2003,1,31) + one_month
datetime.date(2003, 2, 28)
>>> date(2003,1,31) + two_months
datetime.date(2003, 3, 31)
Fractional years and months do not make sense for relative durations. a RelativeValueError is raised when attempting to construct a duration with fractional month or year with the RelativeTimeBuilder:
>>> aniso8601.parse_duration('P2.1Y', builder=RelativeTimeBuilder)
Traceback (most recent call last):

raise RuntimeError('dateutil must be installed for '
RuntimeError: dateutil must be installed for relativedelta support.
To parse an interval specified by a start and end:
>>> import aniso8601
>>> aniso8601.parse_interval('2007-03-01T13:00:00/2008-05-11T15:30:00')
(datetime.datetime(2007, 3, 1, 13, 0), datetime.datetime(2008, 5, 11, 15, 30))
Intervals specified by a start time and a duration are supported:
>>> aniso8601.parse_interval('2007-03-01T13:00:00Z/P1Y2M10DT2H30M')
(datetime.datetime(2007, 3, 1, 13, 0, tzinfo=+0:00:00 UTC), datetime.datetime(2008, 5, 9, 15, 30, tzinfo=+0:00:00 UTC))
A duration can also be specified by a duration and end time:
>>> aniso8601.parse_interval('P1M/1981-04-05')
(datetime.date(1981, 4, 5), datetime.date(1981, 3, 6))
Notice that the result of the above parse is not in order from earliest to latest. If sorted intervals are required, simply use the sorted keyword as shown below:
>>> sorted(aniso8601.parse_interval('P1M/1981-04-05'))
[datetime.date(1981, 3, 6), datetime.date(1981, 4, 5)]
The end of an interval is given as a datetime when required to maintain the resolution specified by a duration, even if the duration start is given as a date:
>>> aniso8601.parse_interval('2014-11-12/PT4H54M6.5S')
(datetime.date(2014, 11, 12), datetime.datetime(2014, 11, 12, 4, 54, 6, 500000))
Repeating intervals are supported as well, and return a generator:
>>> aniso8601.parse_repeating_interval('R3/1981-04-05/P1D')
<generator object _date_generator at 0x7fd800d3b320>
>>> list(aniso8601.parse_repeating_interval('R3/1981-04-05/P1D'))
[datetime.date(1981, 4, 5), datetime.date(1981, 4, 6), datetime.date(1981, 4, 7)]
Repeating intervals are allowed to go in the reverse direction:
>>> list(aniso8601.parse_repeating_interval('R2/PT1H2M/1980-03-05T01:01:00'))
[datetime.datetime(1980, 3, 5, 1, 1), datetime.datetime(1980, 3, 4, 23, 59)]
Unbounded intervals are also allowed (Python 2):
>>> result = aniso8601.parse_repeating_interval('R/PT1H2M/1980-03-05T01:01:00')
>>> result.next()
datetime.datetime(1980, 3, 5, 1, 1)
>>> result.next()
datetime.datetime(1980, 3, 4, 23, 59)
or for Python 3:
>>> result = aniso8601.parse_repeating_interval('R/PT1H2M/1980-03-05T01:01:00')
>>> next(result)
datetime.datetime(1980, 3, 5, 1, 1)
>>> next(result)
datetime.datetime(1980, 3, 4, 23, 59)
Note that you should never try to convert a generator produced by an unbounded interval to a list:
>>> list(aniso8601.parse_repeating_interval('R/PT1H2M/1980-03-05T01:01:00'))

The relative kwarg is deprecated and will be removed in aniso8601 5.0.0, use builder=RelativeTimeBuilder instead.
The above treat years as 365 days and months as 30 days. If calendar level accuracy is required, the provided RelativeTimeBuilder can be used if dateutil is installed:
>>> import aniso8601
>>> from aniso8601.builder import RelativeTimeBuilder
>>> aniso8601.parse_interval('2003-01-27/P1M', builder=RelativeTimeBuilder)
(datetime.date(2003, 1, 27), datetime.date(2003, 2, 27))
>>> aniso8601.parse_interval('2003-01-31/P1M', builder=RelativeTimeBuilder)
(datetime.date(2003, 1, 31), datetime.date(2003, 2, 28))
>>> aniso8601.parse_interval('P1Y/2001-02-28', builder=RelativeTimeBuilder)
(datetime.date(2001, 2, 28), datetime.date(2000, 2, 28))
Alternatively, using the deprecated relative keyword:
>>> aniso8601.parse_interval('2003-01-27/P1M', relative=True)
(datetime.date(2003, 1, 27), datetime.date(2003, 2, 27))
>>> aniso8601.parse_interval('2003-01-31/P1M', relative=True)

(datetime.date(2001, 2, 28), datetime.date(2000, 2, 28)
Fractional years and months do not make sense for relative intervals. A RelativeValueError is raised when attempting to construct an interval with a fractional month or year with the RelativeTimeBuilder:
>>> aniso8601.parse_interval('P1.1Y/2001-02-28', builder=RelativeTimeBuilder)

In some situations, it may be useful to figure out the resolution provided by an ISO 8601 date or time string. Two functions are provided for this purpose.
To get the resolution of a ISO 8601 time string:
>>> aniso8601.get_time_resolution('11:31:14') == aniso8601.resolution.TimeResolution.Seconds
True
>>> aniso8601.get_time_resolution('11:31') == aniso8601.resolution.TimeResolution.Minutes
True
>>> aniso8601.get_time_resolution('11') == aniso8601.resolution.TimeResolution.Hours
True
Similarly, for an ISO 8601 date string:
>>> aniso8601.get_date_resolution('1981-04-05') == aniso8601.resolution.DateResolution.Day
True
>>> aniso8601.get_date_resolution('1981-04') == aniso8601.resolution.DateResolution.Month
True
>>> aniso8601.get_date_resolution('1981') == aniso8601.resolution.DateResolution.Year
True
Builders can be used to change the output format of a parse operation. All parse functions have a builder keyword argument which accepts a builder class.
Three builders are included in the aniso8601.builder module: PythonTimeBuilder (the default), TupleBuilder which returns the parse result as a tuple of strings, and the RelativeTimeBuilder which allows for calendar level accuracy of duration and interval operations.
A NumPyTimeBuilder is available separately which supports parsing directly to NumPy datetime64 and timedelta64 types.
The TupleBuilder returns parse results as tuples of strings.
Parsing a datetime returns a tuple containing a date tuple as a collection of strings, a time tuple as a collection of strings, and the 'datetime' string. The date tuple contains the following parse components: (YYYY, MM, DD, Www, D, DDD, 'date'). The time tuple contains the following parse components (hh, mm, ss, tz, 'time'), where tz is a tuple with the following components (negative, Z, hh, mm, name, 'timezone') with negative and Z being booleans:
>>> import aniso8601
>>> from aniso8601.builder import TupleBuilder
>>> aniso8601.parse_datetime('1977-06-10T12:00:00', builder=TupleBuilder)
(('1977', '06', '10', None, None, None, 'date'), ('12', '00', '00', None, 'time'), 'datetime')
>>> aniso8601.parse_datetime('1979-06-05T08:00:00-08:00', builder=TupleBuilder)
(('1979', '06', '05', None, None, None, 'date'), ('08', '00', '00', (True, None, '08', '00', '-08:00', 'timezone'), 'time'), 'datetime')
Parsing a date returns a tuple containing the following parse components: (YYYY, MM, DD, Www, D, DDD, 'date'):
>>> import aniso8601
>>> from aniso8601.builder import TupleBuilder
>>> aniso8601.parse_date('1984-04-23', builder=TupleBuilder)
('1984', '04', '23', None, None, None, 'date')
>>> aniso8601.parse_date('1986-W38-1', builder=TupleBuilder)
('1986', None, None, '38', '1', None, 'date')
>>> aniso8601.parse_date('1988-132', builder=TupleBuilder)
('1988', None, None, None, None, '132', 'date')
Parsing a time returns a tuple containing following parse components: (hh, mm, ss, tz, 'time'), where tz is a tuple with the following components (negative, Z, hh, mm, name, 'timezone') with negative and Z being booleans:
>>> import aniso8601
>>> from aniso8601.builder import TupleBuilder
>>> aniso8601.parse_time('11:31:14', builder=TupleBuilder)
('11', '31', '14', None, 'time')
>>> aniso8601.parse_time('171819Z', builder=TupleBuilder)
('17', '18', '19', (False, True, None, None, 'Z', 'timezone'), 'time')
>>> aniso8601.parse_time('17:18:19-02:30', builder=TupleBuilder)
('17', '18', '19', (True, None, '02', '30', '-02:30', 'timezone'), 'time')
Parsing a duration returns a tuple containing the following parse components: (PnY, PnM, PnW, PnD, TnH, TnM, TnS, 'duration'):
>>> import aniso8601
>>> from aniso8601.builder import TupleBuilder
>>> aniso8601.parse_duration('P1Y2M3DT4H54M6S', builder=TupleBuilder)
('1', '2', None, '3', '4', '54', '6', 'duration')
>>> aniso8601.parse_duration('P7W', builder=TupleBuilder)
(None, None, '7', None, None, None, None, 'duration')
Parsing an interval returns a tuple containing the following parse components: (start, end, duration, 'interval'), start and end may both be datetime or date tuples, duration is a duration tuple:
>>> import aniso8601
>>> from aniso8601.builder import TupleBuilder
>>> aniso8601.parse_interval('2007-03-01T13:00:00/2008-05-11T15:30:00', builder=TupleBuilder)
((('2007', '03', '01', None, None, None, 'date'), ('13', '00', '00', None, 'time'), 'datetime'), (('2008', '05', '11', None, None, None, 'date'), ('15', '30', '00', None, 'time'), 'datetime'), None, 'interval')
>>> aniso8601.parse_interval('2007-03-01T13:00:00Z/P1Y2M10DT2H30M', builder=TupleBuilder)
((('2007', '03', '01', None, None, None, 'date'), ('13', '00', '00', (False, True, None, None, 'Z', 'timezone'), 'time'), 'datetime'), None, ('1', '2', None, '10', '2', '30', None, 'duration'), 'interval')
>>> aniso8601.parse_interval('P1M/1981-04-05', builder=TupleBuilder)
(None, ('1981', '04', '05', None, None, None, 'date'), (None, '1', None, None, None, None, None, 'duration'), 'interval')
A repeating interval returns a tuple containing the following parse components: (R, Rnn, interval, 'repeatinginterval') where R is a boolean, True for an unbounded interval, False otherwise.:
>>> aniso8601.parse_repeating_interval('R3/1981-04-05/P1D', builder=TupleBuilder)
(False, '3', (('1981', '04', '05', None, None, None, 'date'), None, (None, None, None, '1', None, None, None, 'duration'), 'interval'), 'repeatinginterval')
>>> aniso8601.parse_repeating_interval('R/PT1H2M/1980-03-05T01:01:00', builder=TupleBuilder)
(True, None, (None, (('1980', '03', '05', None, None, None, 'date'), ('01', '01', '00', None, 'time'), 'datetime'), (None, None, None, None, '1', '2', None, 'duration'), 'interval'), 'repeatinginterval')
The RelativeTimeBuilder uses python-dateutil (if installed) to add calendar level accuracy to duration and interval parses.
Same as PythonTimeBuilder.
Same as PythonTimeBuilder.
Same as PythonTimeBuilder.
Parse will result in a relativedelta:
>>> import aniso8601
>>> from aniso8601.builder import RelativeTimeBuilder
>>> one_month = aniso8601.parse_duration('P1M', builder=RelativeTimeBuilder)
>>> two_months = aniso8601.parse_duration('P2M', builder=RelativeTimeBuilder)
>>> print one_month
relativedelta(months=+1)
>>> print two_months
relativedelta(months=+2)
>>> date(2003,1,27) + one_month
datetime.date(2003, 2, 27)
>>> date(2003,1,31) + one_month
datetime.date(2003, 2, 28)
>>> date(2003,1,31) + two_months
datetime.date(2003, 3, 31)
Since a relative fractional month or year is not logical, a RelativeValueError is raised when attempting to parse a duration with relative=True and fractional month or year:
>>> aniso8601.parse_duration('P2.1Y', builder=RelativeTimeBuilder)

RuntimeError: dateutil must be installed for relativedelta support.
Interval parse results will be calculated using a relativedelta internally, allowing for calendar level accuracy:
>>> import aniso8601
>>> from aniso8601.builder import RelativeTimeBuilder
>>> aniso8601.parse_interval('2003-01-27/P1M', builder=RelativeTimeBuilder)

Fractional years and months do not make sense for relative intervals. A RelativeValueError is raised when attempting to parse an interval with relative=True and a fractional month or year:

It is recommended to develop using a virtualenv.
The tests require the dev and relative features to be enabled, install the necessary dependencies using pip:
$ pip install .[dev,relative]
To run the unit tests, navigate to the source directory and run the tests for the python version being worked on (python2, python3):
$ python2 -m unittest discover aniso8601/tests/
or:
$ python3 -m unittest discover aniso8601/tests/
aniso8601 is an open source project hosted on Bitbucket.
Any and all bugs are welcome on our issue tracker. Of particular interest are valid ISO 8601 strings that don't parse, or invalid ones that do. At a minimum, bug reports should include an example of the misbehaving string, as well as the expected result. Of course patches containing unit tests (or fixed bugs) are welcome!
