TimePeriod 1.02

TimePeriod - Python module for determining if a datetime is within a time period. This is a Python version of Perl's Time::Period module.<br /><br />Installation<br />----------------------------------------<br /><br />To install from an archive:<br /><br />$ tar zxf TimePeriod-X.Y.tar.gz<br />$ cd TimePeriod-X.Y<br />$ sudo ./setup.py install<br /><br />Usage<br />----------------------------------------<br /><br />You can use this module like this:<br /><br />>>> from TimePeriod import inPeriod<br />>>> inPeriod ("wd {th}")<br />1<br /><br />If you want to use a time other than the current time, pass a date time after the period:<br /><br />m datetime import datetime<br />>>> from TimePeriod import inPeriod<br />>>> inPeriod ("wd {th}", datetime (2007, 1, 1))<br />0<br /><br />Now we know with certainty that New Year's day 2007 was not on Thursday.<br /><br />The TimePeriod module uses the same format as Perl's Time::Period module, which is detailed here:<br /><br />http://search.cpan.org/~pryan/Period-1.20/Period.pm<br /><br />Differences from Time::Period<br />----------------------------------------<br /><br />There are a few intended differences from Time::Period:<br /><br />1) An exception will be raised for an invalid format. Time::Period returns -1.<br />2) TimePeriod uses Python's datetime object, instead of an epoch.<br />3) Years are considered to have a maximum of 366 days, not 365.
