[issue40316] Add zero function to time, datetime, which acts as the use case of replace to limit resolution
Or Toledano added the comment: The use-case for this method is to "limit" the resolution of a time object. I encountered the need for it when I needed to reduce the resolution of some timestamps, to compare them with timestamps of lesser resolution. I found the following SOF post: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13838394/can-i-easily-get-datetime-with-less-resolution-in-python which made me think that a zero function can be nice for that use case of datetime.replace -- ___ Python tracker <https://bugs.python.org/issue40316> ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

[issue40316] Add zero function to time, datetime, which acts as the use case of replace to limit resolution
New submission from Or Toledano :
I propose the zero(time_unit) function, which replaces all time units with
greater equal resolution than time_unit by 0.
E.g.
>>> datetime.datetime(2020, 4, 18, 12, 27, 30, 500).zero("second")
datetime.datetime(2020, 4, 18, 12, 27)
I purpose it for the datetime, time classes.
I also added unit tests for the function in those classes.
