glxshell.lib.iso8601 module¶

glxshell.lib.iso8601.FixedOffset(offset_hours: float, offset_minutes: float, name: str) → timezone[source]¶

exception glxshell.lib.iso8601.ParseError[source]¶

Bases: ValueError

Raised when there is a problem parsing a date string

glxshell.lib.iso8601.parse_date(datestring: str, default_timezone=datetime.timezone.utc) → datetime[source]¶

Parses ISO 8601 dates into datetime objects

The timezone is parsed from the date string. However it is quite common to have dates without a timezone (not strictly correct). In this case the default timezone specified in default_timezone is used. This is UTC by default.

Parameters:

• datestring (str) – The date to parse as a string

• default_timezone (str or None) – A datetime tzinfo instance to use when no timezone is specified in the datestring. If this is set to None then a naive datetime object is returned.

Returns:

A datetime.datetime instance

Raises:

ParseError when there is a problem parsing the date or constructing the datetime instance.
