Django Human DateTime Parsing

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

:Authors:

   Justin Quick 

:Version: 0.1

This tool uses the `parsedatetime package `_ to turn human readable form input (like 'tomorrow 7PM') into ``datetime`` objects (like datetime.datetime(2010, 4, 9, 19, ...)).

This app requires ``parsedatetime`` and ``pytz``. 

The app comes with a set of fields to replace Django's own DateTimeField, DateField, and TimeField. Get them by using::

    from humandt.fields import HumanDateTimeField, HumanTimeField, HumanDateField

    

Then use them however you like as form fields in your own Django Forms::

    from django.forms import Form

    

    class ExampleForm(Form):

        datetime = HumanDateTimeField(required=False)

        time = HumanTimeField(required=False)

        date = HumanDateField(required=False)

Example Project

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

Download the most recent sourcecode and start up the development server. Make sure you have the most recent version of django::

    git clone git://github.com/justquick/django-human-datetime.git

    cd django-human-datetime

    pip install parsedatetime pytz django

    python setup.py install

    cd example_project

    python manage.py runserver

    

If all goes well it will be available at http://127.0.0.1:8000/. There is an example form up there that just spits out the parsed date/time input. Look at the example_project.views for useage example.

To test the humandt app, stop the server and run this::

    python manage.py test humandt

    

    

Tested working with Django 1.5.
