delorean使用教程
首先，约定三个概念。
navie datetime:没有指定时区的datetime对象
localized datetime:指定时区的datetime对象
localizing:指定市区的的navie datetime
normalizing:datetime时区切换
一些例子
首先，导入Delorean
*>>> from delorean import Delorean使用UTC格式的当前时间创建一个datetime
*>>> d = Delorean()*>>> dDelorean(datetime=datetime.datetime(2013, 1, 12, 6, 10, 33, 110674), timezone='UTC')简单的时区切换
*>>> d = d.shift('US/Eastern')*>>> dDelorean(datetime=datetime.datetime(2013, 1, 12, 1, 10, 38, 102223), timezone='US/Eastern')转换成datetime看看
*>>> d.datetimedatetime.datetime(2013, 1, 12, 01, 10, 38, 102223, tzinfo=<DstTzInfo 'US/Eastern' EST-1 day, 19:00:00 STD>)*>>> d.datedatetime.date(2013, 1, 12)单纯的输入时间看看
*>>> d.naive()datetime.datetime(2013, 1, 12, 1, 10, 38, 102223)*>>> d.epoch()1357971038.102223也是用unix时间戳初始化Delorean
*>>> from delorean import epoch*>>> epoch(1357971038.102223).shift("US/Eastern")Delorean(datetime=datetime.datetime(2013, 1, 12, 1, 10, 38, 102223), timezone='US/Eastern')初始化后，就可以方便的切换到自己所需的时区
Delorean也可以使用指定的datetime对象进行初始化，Delorean会自动处理时区和时间
*>>> tz = timezone("US/Pacific")*>>> dt = tz.localize(datetime.utcnow())datetime.datetime(2013, 3, 16, 5, 28, 11, 536818, tzinfo=<DstTzInfo 'US/Pacific' PDT-1 day, 17:00:00 DST>)*>>> d = Delorean(datetime=dt)*>>> dDelorean(datetime=datetime.datetime(2013, 3, 16, 5, 28, 11, 536818), timezone='US/Pacific')*>>> d = Delorean(datetime=dt, timezone="US/Eastern")*>>> dDelorean(datetime=datetime.datetime(2013, 3, 16, 5, 28, 11, 536818), timezone='US/Pacific')Delorean支持timedelta的时间加减法。Delorean可以使用timedelta进行加减，得到一个Delorean对象
*>>> d = Delorean()*>>> dDelorean(datetime=datetime.datetime(2014, 6, 3, 19, 22, 59, 289779), timezone='UTC')*>>> d += timedelta(hours=2)*>>> dDelorean(datetime=datetime.datetime(2014, 6, 3, 21, 22, 59, 289779), timezone='UTC')*>>> d - timedelta(hours=2)Delorean(datetime=datetime.datetime(2014, 6, 3, 19, 22, 59, 289779), timezone='UTC')*>>> d2 = d + timedelta(hours=2)*>>> d2 - ddatetime.timedelta(0, 7200)Delorean也支持两个时间比较
*>>> d1 = Delorean(datetime(2015, 1, 1), timezone='US/Pacific')*>>> d2 = Delorean(datetime(2015, 1, 1, 8), timezone='UTC')*>>> d1 == d2TrueDelorean提供多种方法获取一个指定的时间，如明年或者下周三
Delorean提供了一些方便的方法进行如上操作。
*>>> d = Delorean()*>>> dDelorean(datetime=datetime.datetime(2013, 1, 20, 19, 41, 6, 207481), timezone='UTC')*>>> d.next_tuesday()Delorean(datetime=datetime.datetime(2013, 1, 22, 19, 41, 6, 207481), timezone='UTC')上周二、过去第二个周二午夜
*>>> d.last_tuesday()Delorean(datetime=datetime.datetime(2013, 1, 15, 19, 41, 6, 207481), timezone='UTC')*>>> d.last_tuesday(2).midnight()datetime.datetime(2013, 1, 8, 0, 0, tzinfo=<UTC>)过滤
通常情况下我们不关心有多少微妙或者多少秒。例如，我们很难区别同一分钟的两个datetime对象。我们补习吧不关心的字段设置为0。
Delorean提供了很方便的方法按照微妙、秒、分钟、小时进行过滤
*>>> d = Delorean()*>>> dDelorean(datetime=datetime.datetime(2013, 1, 21, 3, 34, 30, 418069), timezone='UTC')*>>> d.truncate('second')Delorean(datetime=datetime.datetime(2013, 1, 21, 3, 34, 30), timezone='UTC')*>>> d.truncate('hour')Delorean(datetime=datetime.datetime(2013, 1, 21, 3, 0), timezone='UTC')同样，也支持按照年、月份
*>>> d = Delorean(datetime=datetime(2012, 5, 15, 03, 50, 00, 555555), timezone="US/Eastern")*>>> dDelorean(datetime=datetime.datetime(2012, 5, 15, 3, 50, 0, 555555), timezone='US/Eastern')*>>> d.truncate('month')Delorean(datetime=datetime.datetime(2012, 5, 1), timezone='US/Eastern')*>>> d.truncate('year')Delorean(datetime=datetime.datetime(2012, 1, 1), timezone='US/Eastern')
字符串处理
另一个麻烦事是处理datetime格式的字符串。Delorean可以很方便的处理
*>>> from delorean import parse*>>> parse("2011/01/01 00:00:00 -0700")Delorean(datetime=datetime.datetime(2011, 1, 1, 7), timezone='UTC') 歧义字段的处理
Delorean提供了两个字段dayfirst=True and yearfirst=True用来处理相应格式的字符串，如果dayfirst和yearfirst是True
YY-MM-DD
DD-MM-YY
MM-DD-YY
默认情况下，对于May 6th, 2013格式，Delorean返回‘2013-05-06
*>>> parse("2013-05-06")
Delorean(datetime=datetime.datetime(2013, 5, 6), timezone='UTC')dayfirst和yearfirst的配置如下：
如果dayfirst是False，yearfirst是False
MM-DD-YY
DD-MM-YY
YY-MM-DD
如果dayfirst是True，yearfirst是False
DD-MM-YY
MM-DD-YY
YY-MM-DD
如果dayfirst是False，yearfirst是True
YY-MM-DD
MM-DD-YY
DD-MM-YY
时间步进
*>>> import delorean*>>> from delorean import stops*>>> for stop in stops(freq=delorean.HOURLY, count=10): print stop...Delorean(datetime=datetime.datetime(2013, 1, 21, 6, 25, 33), timezone='UTC')Delorean(datetime=datetime.datetime(2013, 1, 21, 7, 25, 33), timezone='UTC')Delorean(datetime=datetime.datetime(2013, 1, 21, 8, 25, 33), timezone='UTC')Delorean(datetime=datetime.datetime(2013, 1, 21, 9, 25, 33), timezone='UTC')Delorean(datetime=datetime.datetime(2013, 1, 21, 10, 25, 33), timezone='UTC')Delorean(datetime=datetime.datetime(2013, 1, 21, 11, 25, 33), timezone='UTC')Delorean(datetime=datetime.datetime(2013, 1, 21, 12, 25, 33), timezone='UTC')Delorean(datetime=datetime.datetime(2013, 1, 21, 13, 25, 33), timezone='UTC')Delorean(datetime=datetime.datetime(2013, 1, 21, 14, 25, 33), timezone='UTC')Delorean(datetime=datetime.datetime(2013, 1, 21, 15, 25, 33), timezone='UTC')注意：stops只接受naive datetime
可以指定开始和结束的时间
*>>> for stop in stops(freq=delorean.DAILY, count=10, timezone="US/Eastern", start=d1, stop=d2): print stop...Delorean(datetime=datetime.datetime(2012, 5, 6), timezone='US/Eastern')Delorean(datetime=datetime.datetime(2012, 5, 7), timezone='US/Eastern')Delorean(datetime=datetime.datetime(2012, 5, 8), timezone='US/Eastern')Delorean(datetime=datetime.datetime(2012, 5, 9), timezone='US/Eastern')Delorean(datetime=datetime.datetime(2012, 5, 10), timezone='US/Eastern')Delorean(datetime=datetime.datetime(2012, 5, 11), timezone='US/Eastern')Delorean(datetime=datetime.datetime(2012, 5, 12), timezone='US/Eastern')Delorean(datetime=datetime.datetime(2012, 5, 13), timezone='US/Eastern')Delorean(datetime=datetime.datetime(2012, 5, 14), timezone='US/Eastern')Delorean(datetime=datetime.datetime(2012, 5, 15), timezone='US/Eastern')只指定结束时间是不行的
*>>> for stop in stops(freq=delorean.DAILY, timezone="US/Eastern", stop=d2): print stop...Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module File "delorean/interface.py", line 63, in stops bysecond=None, until=until, dtstart=start):TypeError: can't compare offset-naive and offset-aware datetimes
