.. code ::

$ atg Mountain View
Their timezone is "America/Los_Angeles"
Their time: Sat Jul 4 07:13:34 2015
People there may be sleeping.
Convenient time slots:
08:00 to 11:00 here i.e. 19:30 to 22:30 there
20:30 to 22:30 here i.e. 08:00 to 10:00 there

Features
--------

- Get the timezone for a random address.
- Current time anywhere.
- Guesses about what people may be doing.
- Helps you schedule meetings by providing you spans of convenient times.

Installation
------------

This is a Python package, which can be simply installed through pip:

.. code :: sh

# $HOME/.local/bin should be in $PATH for this to work.
$ pip install --user atg

and to install it globally, run:

.. code :: sh

$ sudo pip install atg

Usage
-----

Get all the information about the time at **Mountain View**:

.. code ::

$ atg Mountain View
Their timezone is "America/Los_Angeles"
Their time: Sat Jul 4 07:13:34 2015
People there may be sleeping.
Convenient time slots:
08:00 to 11:00 here i.e. 19:30 to 22:30 there
20:30 to 22:30 here i.e. 08:00 to 10:00 there

If you want to avoid querying the timezone to Google's maps api everytime, you
can directly use the timezone in further requests:

.. code ::

$ atg America/Los_Angeles

By default, ``atg`` calculates time slots based to avoid sleep periods. You can
use ``--dnd`` to customize this. For example, to avoid disturbing at work/sleep:

.. code ::

$ atg Mountain View --dnd work --dnd sleep

You can also specify who the time slots should be convenient to. By default it
will consider both. You can use `-c/--convenient-for` flags to customize this
behaviour. If you want the convenient timings for the remote location:

.. code ::

$ atg Mountain View -c there

Help
====

You can always refer to the command usage through ``atg -h``.

.. code ::

usage: atg [-h] [--dnd {work,sleep,available}] [-c {here,there}]
[-m MY_LOCATION] [-x {timezone,now,default,status,schedule}]
remote [remote ...]

positional arguments:
remote the remote location

optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--dnd {work,sleep,available}
the do not disturb activities (default: sleep)
-c {here,there}, --convenient-for {here,there}
which side's convenience should be considered
(default: both)
-m MY_LOCATION, --my-location MY_LOCATION
specify your own location (default from system time)
-x {timezone,now,default,status,schedule}, --command {timezone,now,default,status,schedule}
the command for atg to execute

Developing and Testing
======================

``atg`` uses the pytz_, tzlocal_ and enum34_ (for backwards compatibility) as dependencies.

To set things up for development, create and activate a virtualenv_ and run

.. code ::

$ pip install -e .[dev,test]
$ python setup.py develop

Tests
-----

Run tests via:

.. code ::

$ nosetests
