Usage

The function random_timestamp takes four optional arguments:

random_timestamp(year=1900, month=1, day=1, part='DATE/TIME')

If year and month and day are not inputed, the timestamp will be randomly generated between 1900 and today's date (datetime.now().date())).

If a later date after today is inputed, the output date will be today's date as well. The optional part parameter is to select only the date or time portion of the timestamp to output.

>>> from random_timestamp import random_timestamp

>>> random_timestamp()
datetime.datetime(1986, 5, 31, 2, 50, 5)

>>> random_timestamp(2020)
datetime.datetime(2020, 2, 11, 12, 4, 51)

>>> random_timestamp(month=1)
datetime.datetime(1914, 1, 15, 22, 3, 58)

>>> random_timestamp(2020, 4, 16, 'DATE')
datetime.date(2020, 4, 16)

>>> random_timestamp(part='TIME')
datetime.time(10, 59, 6)
