Basic date and time types. Implements a subset of the `CPython datetime module <https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html>`_.
NOTE: This library has a large memory footprint and is intended for hardware such as the SAMD51, ESP32-S2, and nRF52.
Dependencies
=============
This driver depends on:
* `Adafruit CircuitPython <https://github.com/adafruit/circuitpython>`_
Please ensure all dependencies are available on the CircuitPython filesystem.
This is easily achieved by downloading
`the Adafruit library and driver bundle <https://circuitpython.org/libraries>`_.
Installing from PyPI
=====================
On supported GNU/Linux systems like the Raspberry Pi, you can install the driver locally `from
PyPI <https://pypi.org/project/adafruit-circuitpython-datetime/>`_. To install for current user:
.. code-block:: shell
pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-datetime
To install system-wide (this may be required in some cases):
.. code-block:: shell
sudo pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-datetime
To install in a virtual environment in your current project:
.. code-block:: shell
mkdir project-name && cd project-name
python3 -m venv .env
source .env/bin/activate
pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-datetime
Usage Example
=============
.. code-block:: python
# Example of working with a `datetime` object
# from https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#examples-of-usage-datetime
from adafruit_datetime import datetime, date, time, timezone
# Using datetime.combine()
d = date(2005, 7, 14)
print(d)
t = time(12, 30)
print(datetime.combine(d, t))
# Using datetime.now()
print("Current time (GMT +1):", datetime.now())
print("Current UTC time: ", datetime.now(timezone.utc))
# Using datetime.timetuple() to get tuple of all attributes
dt = datetime(2006, 11, 21, 16, 30)
tt = dt.timetuple()
for it in tt:
print(it)
# Formatting a datetime
print(
"The {1} is {0:%d}, the {2} is {0:%B}, the {3} is {0:%I:%M%p}.".format(
dt, "day", "month", "time"
)
)
