Great Scott! Delorean for Datetime Manipulation in Python

Lightning Talk

Working with dates and times in Python can lead to frustration, heartache, and, ironically, lost time – but it doesn’t have to! This brief demo introduces Delorean, a library constructed to make datetime manipulation in Python easier. Participants will discover how they can use Delorean

to do datetime arithmetic,
to handle time zone shifts,
to convert datetimes into human language like “3 days from now,” and
to generate equally spaced datetime intervals.
