I'm sorry if this has been asked a thousand (million) times.
Is there a nifty pythonesque way to produce a string representing an
elapsed time period, in terms of years, months, days, hours, mins, seconds?
I am storing times in a MySQL db, and would love to be able to write the
time elapsed between accesses of certain data. These are in seconds
since the epoch, as produced by time.time()
Using mxDateTime that's pretty easy (using number of days):
>>> from mx.DateTime import *
>>> delta = now() - Date(2000,1,1)
>>> print delta
3050:18:01:25.91
or, if you'd rather like to see things broken down as relative
date/time diff (this is a calendar based diff):
>>> print RelativeDateTimeDiff(now(), Date(2000,1,1))
(+0008)-(+04)-(+07) (+18):(+04):(+41)
i.e. 8 years, 4 months, 7 days, etc.
