added a few more cases:
def prettydate(d):
try:
dt = datetime.now() - d
except:
return ''
if dt.days >= 2*365:
return '%d years ago' % int(dt.days / 365)
elif dt.days >= 365:
return '1 year ago'
elif dt.days >= 60:
return '%d months ago' % int(dt.days / 30)
elif dt.days > 21:
return '1 month ago'
elif dt.days >= 14:
return '%d weeks ago' % int(dt.days / 7)
elif dt.days >= 7:
return '1 week ago'
elif dt.days > 1:
return '%d days ago' % dt.days
elif dt.days == 1:
return '1 day ago'
elif dt.seconds >= 2*60*60:
return '%d hours ago' % int(dt.seconds / 3600)
elif dt.seconds >= 60*60:
return '1 hour ago'
elif dt.seconds >= 2*60:
return '%d minutes ago' % int(dt.seconds / 60)
elif dt.seconds >= 60:
return '1 minute ago'
elif dt.seconds > 1:
return '%d seconds ago' % dt.seconds
elif dt.seconds == 1:
return '1 second ago'
else:
return 'now'
