Delorean: Time Travel Made Easy

===============================



`Delorean` is a library for clearing up the inconvenient truths that arise dealing with datetimes in Python. Understanding that timing is a delicate enough of a problem `delorean` hopes to provide a cleaner less troublesome solution to shifting, manipulating, and generating `datetimes`.



Delorean stands on the shoulders of giants `pytz `_ and `dateutil `_



`Delorean` will provide natural language improvements for manipulating time, as well as datetime abstractions for ease of use. The overall goal is to improve datetime manipulations, with a little bit of software and philosophy.



Pretty much make you a badass time traveller.



Getting Started

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^



Here is the world without a flux capacitor at your side:



.. code-block:: python



    from datetime import datetime

    import pytz



    est = pytz.timezone('US/Eastern')

    d = datetime.now(pytz.utc)

    d = est.normalize(d.astimezone(est))

    return d



Now lets warm up the `delorean`:



.. code-block:: python



    from delorean import Delorean



    d = Delorean()

    d = d.shift('US/Eastern')

    return d



Look at you looking all fly. This was just a test drive: check out out what else

`delorean` can help with in the `documentation `_.
