Python-MomentX
A lightweight wrapper around datetime with a focus on timezone handling and few dependencies (only datetime, pytz and six).
Provides a immutable date/time type that always has an attached timezone.
This module was originally derived from the moment module by Zach Williams. Following the main differences:
- MomentX dates always contain a timezone
- comparison made easy because all MomentX objects are timezone-offset-aware
- strptime with timezone support (%z)
- MomentX objects are immutable (add(), replace(), etc does not alter the object)
- api methods were converted to @classmethod
- zero() is now a method and not a property
- python3 support
- removed js like date formatting options and 'times' dependency
Typical usage may look like this:
>>> from momentx import MomentX
>>>
>>> MomentX.utc(2012, 12, 18)
<Moment(2012-12-18 00:00:00+0000 / UTC)>
>>>
>>> MomentX(2012, 12, 18, timezone="UTC")
<Moment(2012-12-18 00:00:00+0000 / UTC)>
>>>
>>> MomentX(2012, 12, 18, timezone="Europe/Berlin")
<Moment(2012-12-18 00:00:00+0100 / Europe/Berlin)>
>>>
>>> MomentX(2012, 12, 18, timezone="Europe/Berlin").astimezone("UTC")
<Moment(2012-12-17 23:00:00+0000 / UTC)>
>>>
>>> MomentX(2012, 12, 18, 10, 11, 12, timezone="UTC").replace(hours=3)
<Moment(2012-12-18 03:11:12+0000 / UTC)>
>>>
>>> MomentX(2012, 12, 18, 10, 11, 12, timezone="UTC").zero()
<Moment(2012-12-18 00:00:00+0000 / UTC)>
>>>
>>> MomentX.utc(2012, 12, 18).add(days=2)
<Moment(2012-12-20 00:00:00+0000 / UTC)>
>>>
>>> MomentX.utcnow()
<Moment(2016-05-17 18:30:40+0000 / UTC)>
>>>
>>> MomentX.utcnow().strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S%z')
