Democritus Timezones

Democritus functions^[1] for working with timezones.

[1] Democritus functions are simple, effective, modular, well-tested, and well-documented Python functions.

We use d8s (pronounced "dee-eights") as an abbreviation for democritus (you can read more about this here).

Installation

pip install d8s-timezones

You import the library like:

from d8s_timezones import *

Once imported, you can use any of the functions listed below.

def pytz_timezone_object(timezone_name: str):
    """Create a pytz timezone object for the given timezone_name."""

def pytz_country_names():
    """Get a dictionary with countries's ISO 3166 country code as keys and the country name as the value."""

def pytz_country_timezones():
    """Get a dictionary with countries's names as keys and the timezones as values."""

def timezones_names():
    """Get a list of all timezones."""

def timezone_utc_offset(timezone_name: str, date):
    """Find how many hours the given timezone is off from UTC."""

def timezone_abbreviation(timezone_name: str, date):
    """Find the abbreviation for the given timezone_name."""

def country_timezone_abbreviation(country_name: str, date):
    """Find the abbreviation for the given country_name."""

def country_code_timezone_abbreviation(iso_3166_country_code: str, date):
    """Find the abbreviation for the given iso_3166_country_code."""

def country_code_timezones(iso_3166_country_code):
    """Find the timezones for the country with the given iso_3166_country_code."""
