Package: easy-date
# Easy_Date #* https://github.com/ralphavalon/easy_date* https://pypi.python.org/pypi/easy-dateLet's face it: there's no JodaTime for Python, and dealing with date, datetime, timestamp in Python it's not very readable or easy to understand. Easy_date can convert between str, date, datetime and timestamp easily for you and it is readable.### Example - String to String ###```import easy_datestr_date = '25/12/2014' #%d/%m/%Ynew_str_date = easy_date.convert_from_string(str_date, '%d/%m/%Y', '%m-%d-%Y') # str is default return type```**new_str_date** will be **12-25-2014**.### Installation ###Install the latest stable release with:``pip install easy_date``or``easy_install -U easy_date``There are no hard dependencies other than the Python standard library.It works with Python **2.6+** and **3.x**, but it wasn't tested on previous versions.### How do I convert dates? ####### Can use two ways:* Using **easy_date**```from datetime import date, datetimeimport easy_datestr_date = '25/12/2014' #%d/%m/%Y#convert_from_string(string, current_format, to_format, to_type)new_str_date = easy_date.convert_from_string(str_date, '%d/%m/%Y', '%m-%d-%Y') # str is default return typedate_time = easy_date.convert_from_string(str_date, '%d/%m/%Y', '%Y-%m-%d', datetime)timestamp = easy_date.convert_from_string(str_date, '%d/%m/%Y', None, float) # e.g. 1419472800.0my_date = easy_date.convert_from_string(str_date, '%d/%m/%Y', None, date)```* Using **date_converter**```from datetime import date, datetimeimport date_converterstr_date = '25/12/2014' #%d/%m/%Y#string_to_string(string, current_format, to_format)new_str_date = date_converter.string_to_string(str_date, '%d/%m/%Y', '%m-%d-%Y')#string_to_datetime(string, current_format, to_format)date_time = date_converter.string_to_datetime(str_date, '%d/%m/%Y', '%Y-%m-%d')#string_to_timestamp(string, current_format)timestamp = date_converter.string_to_timestamp(str_date, '%d/%m/%Y')#string_to_date(string, current_format)my_date = date_converter.string_to_date(str_date, '%d/%m/%Y')```### Available methods ###* from **easy_date**```#Acceptable types: (str, datetime.datetime, datetime.date, float)convert_from_string(string, current_format, to_format, to_type=str)#Acceptable types: (str, datetime.datetime, datetime.date, float)convert_from_datetime(from_datetime, to_format, to_type=str)#Acceptable types: (str, datetime.datetime, float)convert_from_date(from_date, to_format, to_type=str)#Acceptable types: (str, datetime.datetime, datetime.date)convert_from_timestamp(timestamp, to_format, to_type=str)```* from **date_converter**```#from datetime.datedate_to_datetime(from_date)date_to_string(from_date, to_format)date_to_timestamp(from_date)#from datetime.datetimedatetime_to_date(from_datetime)datetime_to_datetime(from_datetime, to_format)datetime_to_string(from_datetime, to_format)datetime_to_timestamp(from_datetime)#from strstring_to_date(string, current_format)string_to_datetime(string, current_format, to_format=None)string_to_string(string, current_format, to_format)string_to_timestamp(string, current_format)#from floattimestamp_to_date(timestamp)timestamp_to_datetime(timestamp, to_format=None)timestamp_to_string(timestamp, to_format)```### Development ###* All tests were executed using Brazil (America/Sao_Paulo) timezone. So, if you're not on this timezone and want to run tests, you can do:```sudo ln -fs /usr/share/zoneinfo/America/Sao_Paulo /etc/localtime```* You can back to your timezone using the same way.* You can take a look on **travis_setup.sh**.### Contribution guidelines ###* Every help or suggestion is welcome.### License ###* Code and documentation are available according to the MIT License (see LICENSE.md).
