Delorean: Time Travel Made Easy ============================
delorean is a library for clearing up the confusion that is the datetime module. It will provide natural language improvements for manipulating time, as well as datetime and time abstractions for easy use.
Pretty much make you a badass, time traveller
Note: This API is in flux still trying to soldify API.
The overall goal is to improve date and time manipulations, as well as help create a simple way for detecting timezones in various areas as well as providing standardized time in utc.
import delorean
'''
All date, times, and datetimes returned are all UTC, if you require, something localized
you are to set it yourself. This will provided via API, this is done to simplify and standardize
the time library you are always aware of what you are working with.
'''
>>> today = delorean.today()
<DelorianDateTime: 2011-09-19>
>>> tomorrow = today.tomorrow()
<DelorianDateTime: 2011-09-20>
>>> tomorrow.date()
2011-09-20 (python Date Object)
>>>tomorrow.datetime()
2011-09-20 00:00:00 (python DateTime Object) significant bits are zeroed
out cause we only started with a date,
but its still a datetime object.
>>>tomorow.time()
00:00:00 (python Time Object) since only a date object was created with date)
>>> next_year = delorean.nextyear()
<DelorianDateTime: 2012-09-19>
>>> gmt = delorean.time()
08:06:53 (python Time Object)
>>> us_eastern = delorean.time(east_coast) this accepts
13:06:53(python Time Object)
>>> now = delorian.datetime().now()
2011-09-19 08:06:53 (python DateTime Object)
>>> utc = delorian.datetime().utcnow()
2011-09-19 08:06:53 (python DateTime Object)
>>> local = delorian.localnow()
2011-09-19 13:06:53 (python DateTime Object) localized. tz set using local. all accept tz value like 'America/Montreal'
