Category: Library (Lib) Group: Python 2.6 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Christian Heimes (tiran) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Datetime enhancements Initial Comment: I'm proposing some small enhancements to the datetime module: Add a totimestamp() method to datetime.datetime that returns the seconds since 1/1/1970 00:00:00. The datetime class has already a fromtimestamp() factory but is missing a totimestamp() method. Add a __int__() and __float__() method to datetime.timedelta which return the seconds (seconds + 86400 * days) as int and seconds + miliseconds as float. It would save some typing if somebody needs an integer representation of a timedelta object :] The datetime module is implemented in C. I've never written a Python C extension so I can't help with a patch.

You end up with: timedelta(0, 1) == 1 but hash(timedelta(0, 1)) != hash(1) This breaks dictionaries. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Christian Heimes (tiran) Date: 2007-03-22 22:38 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=560817 Originator: YES Here is a new patch. I've updated the documentation and enhanced the compare function to compare with ints, longs and floats. This part of the patch should be complete. I'm going to submit a different patch for the other features later. Shall I start a new tracker entry? File Added: timedelta_intfloat.diff ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Johann C. Rocholl (jcrocholl) Date: 2007-03-09 11:33 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=656137 Originator: NO The patch confuses microseconds with milliseconds. The divisor in delta_float should be 1000000.0, not 1000.0. The result of the last test should be 86401.000001, not 86401.001. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Christian Heimes (tiran) Date: 2007-02-21 11:16 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=560817 Originator: YES File Added: timedelta.patch ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=305470&aid=1665292&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Patches mailing list Patches@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/patches
