django-timecode

A python class to store and manipulate timecodes with accompanying Django field.

Examples

Timecodes can be created using a string representation

>>> from timecode import Timecode
>>> start = Timecode('09:59:50:00', fps=25)
>>> end = Timecode('10:06:05:12', fps=25)

They will print themselves

>>> start
Timecode('09:59:50:00', fps=25)
>>> str(start)
'09:59:50:00'

They can add and subtract

>>> delta = end - start
>>> delta
Timecode('00:06:15:12', fps=25)

Or you can get at the exact frames using the total_frames attribute

>>> delta.total_frames
9387

In a Django model

models.py

from timecode.fields import TimecodeField
from django.db import models


class TestModel(models.Model):
    timecode = TimecodeField()

You can then store the timecode objects in the database.
