Description: datetime2

        =========

        

        The `datetime2 <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/datetime2>`_ module provides date

        and time classes to Python.

        

        It will enhance the standard `datetime <http://docs.python.org/py3k/library/datetime.html>`_

        module, adding the capability of constructing and representing date and time in

        many formats and removing a few limits that the original package has.

        

        Code is hosted at `GitHub <http://github.com/fricciardi/datetime2>`_: the

        `wiki pages <https://github.com/fricciardi/datetime2/wiki>`_ host development

        discussions. *datetime2* is a one-man, free-time work. Although I am deeply

        committed in completing the project, do not expect regular updates.

        

        Project objectives

        ==================

        

        * Decoupling between operations on date and time objects and their

          representation.

        * Access to different calendars, for input parsing and output formatting.

        * Access to different time representations, also for input and output.

        * Infinite precision in converting between different time representations.

        * Ability to dynamically register new formatting classes.

        * Internationalization.

        * Implementation of the part of the Unicode Locale Database concerned with

          dates and times.

        * Interface with other Python modules or inclusion of their

          functionalities in its submodules.

        

        These objectives are very long term ones, which I am setting because it is

        important to establish a direction for the project. Do not expect to see them

        implemented in initial versions of the module, even if you will be able to see

        traces of them early.
