# timeliterals [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/pgdr/timeliterals.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/pgdr/timeliterals)

The `timeliterals` module is a simple module containing literals

* `hours`

* `minutes`

* `seconds`

* `milliseconds`

* `microseconds`

* `days`

* `weeks`

Can be used as a scalar or a function, for example `timedelta(seconds=5)` can be replaced by `seconds(5)` or `5 * seconds`.

```python

from timeliterals import *

duration = 2 * hours - 14 * minutes  # timedelta

duration += minutes(2)  # function

assert 1 * hours + 30 * minutes < duration < 2 * hours

assert duration / minutes == 108

assert duration / seconds == 6480

assert duration.total_seconds() == 6480

```

```python

from timeliterals import *

from datetime import timedelta

assert hours(2) == timedelta(hours=2)

```

```python

from timeliterals import hours as m, minutes as m, seconds as s, milliseconds as ms, microseconds as us

duration = 2*h - 14*m + 10*s + 140*ms - 3*us

assert duration < 2*h

```

## history

After a discussion on

the [python-ideas](https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-ideas/) mailing list

on

[literals for datetime.timedelta](https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-ideas/2018-June/051182.html),

[Chris Barker suggested](https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-ideas/2018-June/051201.html) that

This module is a proof-of-concept testing out that idea, but in its own module.
