zope.interface.common.idatetime¶

Datetime interfaces.

This module is called idatetime because if it were called datetime the import of the real datetime would fail.

interface zope.interface.common.idatetime.ITimeDeltaClass[source]¶

This is the timedelta class interface.

This is symbolic; this module does not make datetime.timedelta provide this interface.

min¶: The most negative timedelta object

max¶: The most positive timedelta object

resolution¶: The smallest difference between non-equal timedelta objects

interface zope.interface.common.idatetime.ITimeDelta[source]¶

Extends: zope.interface.common.idatetime.ITimeDeltaClass

Represent the difference between two datetime objects.

Implemented by datetime.timedelta.

Supported operators:

add, subtract timedelta
unary plus, minus, abs
compare to timedelta
multiply, divide by int/long

In addition, datetime supports subtraction of two datetime objects returning a timedelta, and addition or subtraction of a datetime and a timedelta giving a datetime.

Representation: (days, seconds, microseconds).

days¶: Days between -999999999 and 999999999 inclusive

seconds¶: Seconds between 0 and 86399 inclusive

microseconds¶: Microseconds between 0 and 999999 inclusive

interface zope.interface.common.idatetime.IDateClass[source]¶

This is the date class interface.

This is symbolic; this module does not make datetime.date provide this interface.

min¶: The earliest representable date

max¶: The latest representable date

resolution¶: The smallest difference between non-equal date objects

today()¶

Return the current local time.

This is equivalent to date.fromtimestamp(time.time())

fromtimestamp(timestamp)¶

Return the local date from a POSIX timestamp (like time.time())

This may raise ValueError, if the timestamp is out of the range of values supported by the platform C localtime() function. It’s common for this to be restricted to years from 1970 through 2038. Note that on non-POSIX systems that include leap seconds in their notion of a timestamp, leap seconds are ignored by fromtimestamp.

fromordinal(ordinal)¶

Return the date corresponding to the proleptic Gregorian ordinal.

January 1 of year 1 has ordinal 1. ValueError is raised unless 1 <= ordinal <= date.max.toordinal().

For any date d, date.fromordinal(d.toordinal()) == d.

interface zope.interface.common.idatetime.IDate[source]¶

Extends: zope.interface.common.idatetime.IDateClass

Represents a date (year, month and day) in an idealized calendar.

Implemented by datetime.date.

Operators:

__repr__, __str__ __cmp__, __hash__ __add__, __radd__, __sub__ (add/radd only with timedelta arg)

year¶: Between MINYEAR and MAXYEAR inclusive.

month¶: Between 1 and 12 inclusive

day¶: Between 1 and the number of days in the given month of the given year.

replace(year, month, day)¶

Return a date with the same value.

Except for those members given new values by whichever keyword arguments are specified. For example, if d == date(2002, 12, 31), then d.replace(day=26) == date(2000, 12, 26).

timetuple()¶

Return a 9-element tuple of the form returned by time.localtime.

The hours, minutes and seconds are 0, and the DST flag is -1. d.timetuple() is equivalent to (d.year, d.month, d.day, 0, 0, 0, d.weekday(), d.toordinal() - date(d.year, 1, 1).toordinal() + 1, -1)

toordinal()¶

Return the proleptic Gregorian ordinal of the date

January 1 of year 1 has ordinal 1. For any date object d, date.fromordinal(d.toordinal()) == d.

weekday()¶

Return the day of the week as an integer.

Monday is 0 and Sunday is 6. For example, date(2002, 12, 4).weekday() == 2, a Wednesday.

See also

isoweekday.

isoweekday()¶

Return the day of the week as an integer.

Monday is 1 and Sunday is 7. For example, date(2002, 12, 4).isoweekday() == 3, a Wednesday.

See also

weekday, isocalendar.

isocalendar()¶

Return a 3-tuple, (ISO year, ISO week number, ISO weekday).

The ISO calendar is a widely used variant of the Gregorian calendar. See http://www.phys.uu.nl/~vgent/calendar/isocalendar.htm for a good explanation.

The ISO year consists of 52 or 53 full weeks, and where a week starts on a Monday and ends on a Sunday. The first week of an ISO year is the first (Gregorian) calendar week of a year containing a Thursday. This is called week number 1, and the ISO year of that Thursday is the same as its Gregorian year.

For example, 2004 begins on a Thursday, so the first week of ISO year 2004 begins on Monday, 29 Dec 2003 and ends on Sunday, 4 Jan 2004, so that date(2003, 12, 29).isocalendar() == (2004, 1, 1) and date(2004, 1, 4).isocalendar() == (2004, 1, 7).

isoformat()¶

Return a string representing the date in ISO 8601 format.

This is ‘YYYY-MM-DD’. For example, date(2002, 12, 4).isoformat() == '2002-12-04'.

__str__()¶: For a date d, str(d) is equivalent to d.isoformat().

ctime()¶

Return a string representing the date.

For example date(2002, 12, 4).ctime() == ‘Wed Dec 4 00:00:00 2002’. d.ctime() is equivalent to time.ctime(time.mktime(d.timetuple())) on platforms where the native C ctime() function (which time.ctime invokes, but which date.ctime() does not invoke) conforms to the C standard.

strftime(format)¶

Return a string representing the date.

Controlled by an explicit format string. Format codes referring to hours, minutes or seconds will see 0 values.

interface zope.interface.common.idatetime.IDateTimeClass[source]¶

This is the datetime class interface.

This is symbolic; this module does not make datetime.datetime provide this interface.

min¶: The earliest representable datetime

max¶: The latest representable datetime

resolution¶: The smallest possible difference between non-equal datetime objects

today()¶

Return the current local datetime, with tzinfo None.

This is equivalent to datetime.fromtimestamp(time.time()).

See also

now, fromtimestamp.

now(tz=None)¶

Return the current local date and time.

If optional argument tz is None or not specified, this is like today, but, if possible, supplies more precision than can be gotten from going through a time.time timestamp (for example, this may be possible on platforms supplying the C gettimeofday() function).

Else tz must be an instance of a class tzinfo subclass, and the current date and time are converted to tz’s time zone. In this case the result is equivalent to tz.fromutc(datetime.utcnow().replace(tzinfo=tz)).

See also

today, utcnow.

utcnow()¶

Return the current UTC date and time, with tzinfo None.

This is like now, but returns the current UTC date and time, as a naive datetime object.

See also

now.

fromtimestamp(timestamp, tz=None)¶

Return the local date and time corresponding to the POSIX timestamp.

Same as is returned by time.time(). If optional argument tz is None or not specified, the timestamp is converted to the platform’s local date and time, and the returned datetime object is naive.

Else tz must be an instance of a class tzinfo subclass, and the timestamp is converted to tz’s time zone. In this case the result is equivalent to tz.fromutc(datetime.utcfromtimestamp(timestamp).replace(tzinfo=tz)).

fromtimestamp() may raise ValueError, if the timestamp is out of the range of values supported by the platform C localtime() or gmtime() functions. It’s common for this to be restricted to years in 1970 through 2038. Note that on non-POSIX systems that include leap seconds in their notion of a timestamp, leap seconds are ignored by fromtimestamp(), and then it’s possible to have two timestamps differing by a second that yield identical datetime objects.

See also

utcfromtimestamp.

utcfromtimestamp(timestamp)¶

Return the UTC datetime from the POSIX timestamp with tzinfo None.

This may raise ValueError, if the timestamp is out of the range of values supported by the platform C gmtime() function. It’s common for this to be restricted to years in 1970 through 2038.

See also

fromtimestamp.

fromordinal(ordinal)¶

Return the datetime from the proleptic Gregorian ordinal.

January 1 of year 1 has ordinal 1. ValueError is raised unless 1 <= ordinal <= datetime.max.toordinal(). The hour, minute, second and microsecond of the result are all 0, and tzinfo is None.

combine(date, time)¶

Return a new datetime object.

Its date members are equal to the given date object’s, and whose time and tzinfo members are equal to the given time object’s. For any datetime object d, d == datetime.combine(d.date(), d.timetz()). If date is a datetime object, its time and tzinfo members are ignored.

interface zope.interface.common.idatetime.IDateTime[source]¶

Extends: zope.interface.common.idatetime.IDate, zope.interface.common.idatetime.IDateTimeClass

Object contains all the information from a date object and a time object.

Implemented by datetime.datetime.

year¶: Year between MINYEAR and MAXYEAR inclusive

month¶: Month between 1 and 12 inclusive

day¶: Day between 1 and the number of days in the given month of the year

hour¶: Hour in range(24)

minute¶: Minute in range(60)

second¶: Second in range(60)

microsecond¶: Microsecond in range(1000000)

tzinfo¶: The object passed as the tzinfo argument to the datetime constructor or None if none was passed

date()¶: Return date object with same year, month and day.

time()¶

Return time object with same hour, minute, second, microsecond.

tzinfo is None.

See also

Method timetz().

timetz()¶: Return time object with same hour, minute, second, microsecond, and tzinfo.

See also

Method time().

replace(year, month, day, hour, minute, second, microsecond, tzinfo)¶

Return a datetime with the same members, except for those members given new values by whichever keyword arguments are specified.

Note that tzinfo=None can be specified to create a naive datetime from an aware datetime with no conversion of date and time members.

astimezone(tz)¶

Return a datetime object with new tzinfo member tz, adjusting the date and time members so the result is the same UTC time as self, but in tz’s local time.

tz must be an instance of a tzinfo subclass, and its utcoffset() and dst() methods must not return None. self must be aware (self.tzinfo must not be None, and self.utcoffset() must not return None).

If self.tzinfo is tz, self.astimezone(tz) is equal to self: no adjustment of date or time members is performed. Else the result is local time in time zone tz, representing the same UTC time as self:

after astz = dt.astimezone(tz), astz - astz.utcoffset()

will usually have the same date and time members as dt - dt.utcoffset(). The discussion of class datetime.tzinfo explains the cases at Daylight Saving Time transition boundaries where this cannot be achieved (an issue only if tz models both standard and daylight time).

If you merely want to attach a time zone object tz to a datetime dt without adjustment of date and time members, use dt.replace(tzinfo=tz). If you merely want to remove the time zone object from an aware datetime dt without conversion of date and time members, use dt.replace(tzinfo=None).

Note that the default tzinfo.fromutc method can be overridden in a tzinfo subclass to effect the result returned by astimezone.

utcoffset()¶: Return the timezone offset in minutes east of UTC (negative west of UTC).

dst()¶: Return 0 if DST is not in effect, or the DST offset (in minutes eastward) if DST is in effect.

tzname()¶: Return the timezone name.

timetuple()¶: Return a 9-element tuple of the form returned by time.localtime.

utctimetuple()¶: Return UTC time tuple compatilble with time.gmtime.

toordinal()¶

Return the proleptic Gregorian ordinal of the date.

The same as self.date().toordinal().

weekday()¶

Return the day of the week as an integer.

Monday is 0 and Sunday is 6. The same as self.date().weekday(). See also isoweekday().

isoweekday()¶

Return the day of the week as an integer.

Monday is 1 and Sunday is 7. The same as self.date().isoweekday.

See also

weekday, isocalendar.

isocalendar()¶

Return a 3-tuple, (ISO year, ISO week number, ISO weekday).

The same as self.date().isocalendar().

isoformat(sep='T')¶

Return a string representing the date and time in ISO 8601 format.

YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS.mmmmmm or YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS if microsecond is 0

If utcoffset does not return None, a 6-character string is appended, giving the UTC offset in (signed) hours and minutes:

YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS.mmmmmm+HH:MM or YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS+HH:MM if microsecond is 0.

The optional argument sep (default ‘T’) is a one-character separator, placed between the date and time portions of the result.

__str__()¶: For a datetime instance d, str(d) is equivalent to d.isoformat(' ').

ctime()¶

Return a string representing the date and time.

datetime(2002, 12, 4, 20, 30, 40).ctime() == 'Wed Dec 4 20:30:40 2002'. d.ctime() is equivalent to time.ctime(time.mktime(d.timetuple())) on platforms where the native C ctime() function (which time.ctime invokes, but which datetime.ctime does not invoke) conforms to the C standard.

strftime(format)¶

Return a string representing the date and time.

This is controlled by an explicit format string.

interface zope.interface.common.idatetime.ITimeClass[source]¶

This is the time class interface.

This is symbolic; this module does not make datetime.time provide this interface.

min¶: The earliest representable time

max¶: The latest representable time

resolution¶: The smallest possible difference between non-equal time objects

interface zope.interface.common.idatetime.ITime[source]¶

Implemented by datetime.time.

Operators:

__repr__, __str__ __cmp__, __hash__

hour¶: Hour in range(24)

minute¶: Minute in range(60)

second¶: Second in range(60)

microsecond¶: Microsecond in range(1000000)

tzinfo¶: The object passed as the tzinfo argument to the time constructor or None if none was passed.

replace(hour, minute, second, microsecond, tzinfo)¶

Return a time with the same value.

Except for those members given new values by whichever keyword arguments are specified. Note that tzinfo=None can be specified to create a naive time from an aware time, without conversion of the time members.

isoformat()¶

Return a string representing the time in ISO 8601 format.

That is HH:MM:SS.mmmmmm or, if self.microsecond is 0, HH:MM:SS If utcoffset() does not return None, a 6-character string is appended, giving the UTC offset in (signed) hours and minutes: HH:MM:SS.mmmmmm+HH:MM or, if self.microsecond is 0, HH:MM:SS+HH:MM

__str__()¶: For a time t, str(t) is equivalent to t.isoformat().

strftime(format)¶

Return a string representing the time.

This is controlled by an explicit format string.

utcoffset()¶

Return the timezone offset in minutes east of UTC (negative west of UTC).

If tzinfo is None, returns None, else returns self.tzinfo.utcoffset(None), and raises an exception if the latter doesn’t return None or a timedelta object representing a whole number of minutes with magnitude less than one day.

dst()¶

Return 0 if DST is not in effect, or the DST offset (in minutes eastward) if DST is in effect.

If tzinfo is None, returns None, else returns self.tzinfo.dst(None), and raises an exception if the latter doesn’t return None, or a timedelta object representing a whole number of minutes with magnitude less than one day.

tzname()¶

Return the timezone name.

If tzinfo is None, returns None, else returns self.tzinfo.tzname(None), or raises an exception if the latter doesn’t return None or a string object.

interface zope.interface.common.idatetime.ITZInfo[source]¶

Time zone info class.

utcoffset(dt)¶

Return offset of local time from UTC, in minutes east of UTC.

If local time is west of UTC, this should be negative. Note that this is intended to be the total offset from UTC; for example, if a tzinfo object represents both time zone and DST adjustments, utcoffset() should return their sum. If the UTC offset isn’t known, return None. Else the value returned must be a timedelta object specifying a whole number of minutes in the range -1439 to 1439 inclusive (1440 = 24*60; the magnitude of the offset must be less than one day).

dst(dt)¶: Return the daylight saving time (DST) adjustment, in minutes east of UTC, or None if DST information isn’t known.

tzname(dt)¶: Return the time zone name corresponding to the datetime object as a string.

fromutc(dt)¶: Return an equivalent datetime in self’s local time.

zope.interface.common.collections¶

Interface definitions paralleling the abstract base classes defined in collections.abc.

After this module is imported, the standard library types will declare that they implement the appropriate interface. While most standard library types will properly implement that interface (that is, verifyObject(ISequence, list())) will pass, for example), a few might not:

memoryview doesn’t feature all the defined methods of ISequence such as count; it is still declared to provide ISequence though.
