Working with intervals

Int objects have now some new properties for creating intervals as follows:

>>> import datetimex
>>> datetimex.patch_all()

>>> (2).years
datetime.timedelta(730)

These are the new methods for ints:

• micros
• micros
• millis
• millis
• seconds
• seconds
• minutes
• minutes
• hours
• days
• weeks
• years

Besides the interval object has new methods:

• ago
• since

For example:

>>> import datetimex
>>> datetimex.patch_all()
>>> from datetime import datetime

>>> (3).days.ago
datetime.datetime(2014, 6, 5, 10, 46, 20, 588674)

>>> (3).days.since(datetime.now())
datetime.datetime(2014, 6, 11, 10, 47, 13, 92963)

Timezones

Timezones can be used as string

>>> datetime.now('Europe/Berlin')
datetime.datetime(2014, 6, 8, 10, 49, 2, 881309, tzinfo=<DstTzInfo 'Europe/Berlin' CEST+2:00:00 DST>)
