A small Python library to parse various kinds of time expressions,
inspired by
this StackOverflow question.
The single function pytimeparse.timeparse.timeparse defined in the
library (also available as pytimeparse.parse) parses time
expressions like the following:
32m
2h32m
3d2h32m
1w3d2h32m
1w 3d 2h 32m
1 w 3 d 2 h 32 m
4:13
4:13:02
4:13:02.266
2:04:13:02.266
2 days, 4:13:02 (uptime format)
2 days, 4:13:02.266
5hr34m56s
5 hours, 34 minutes, 56 seconds
5 hrs, 34 mins, 56 secs
2 days, 5 hours, 34 minutes, 56 seconds
1.2 m
1.2 min
1.2 mins
1.2 minute
1.2 minutes
172 hours
172 hr
172 h
172 hrs
172 hour
1.24 days
5 d
5 day
5 days
5.6 wk
5.6 week
5.6 weeks
It returns the time as a number of seconds (an integer value if
possible, otherwise a floating-point number):
>>> from pytimeparse import parse
>>> parse('1.2 minutes')
72
A number of seconds can be converted back into a string using the
datetime module in the standard library, as noted in
this other StackOverflow question:
>>> from pytimeparse import parse
>>> import datetime
>>> parse('1 day, 14:20:16')
138016
>>> str(datetime.timedelta(seconds=138016))
'1 day, 14:20:16'
Future work
Give the user more flexibility over which characters to use as
separators between fields in a time expression (e.g., + might
be useful).
