timeconv

This modules provides functions to convert between a datestring format and unixtime timestamp (double). The unixtimestamp is defined in seconds since 1970 UTC time. The datestring object will also be UTC by default.

Example usage

# import this module
import time # default pyhon module
from themachinethatgoesping.tools import timeconv

unixtime   = time.time() # create a unixtimestamp in python
datestring = timeconv.unixtime_to_datestring(time.time()) # convert to datestring
print(datestring)

unixtime = timeconv.datestring_to_unixtime(datestring) # convert datestring to unixtimestamp
print(unixtime)

Format string

date_string format

Format	Meaning
%z:	zone (in hhmm (as hours/minuts east of utc) z may only be at the beginning of the string! If no z is given the string will be interpreted as utc 0
%d:	get_day as int dd
%m:	get_month as int mm
%b:	get_month as string bb
%Y:	get_year is int YYYY
%H:	hours as int HH
%M:	Minutes as int mm
%S:	Seconds as int SS
