# Time when and where Find time now, in the past or future in any timezone or location. ## Usage ``` python tz.py QUERY [--format="%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S%z"] [--debug] ``` * `QUERY` - is of the form ` to ` `` is any time or time-like string - or example `2019-04-26 3:14`, `06:42`, timezones `15:10 cet` but also some human readable like `now`, `in 3 hours`, `7 minutes ago` and many others. See [dateparser](https://pypi.org/project/dateparser/) for more. `to ` is optional. It has to have the word `to` which specifies that timezone or location follows. It is either: - timezone (tried first) to which the date should be translated or - a location. Uses a local database of files of countries and cities. It then tries to fuzzymatch the query using [fuzzywuzzy](https://github.com/seatgeek/fuzzywuzzy). In case it can't find the country or city, it uses [geopy](https://geopy.readthedocs.io/en/stable/) for location resolution. Finally it uses [timezonefinder](https://pypi.org/project/timezonefinder/) for timezone resolution. * `--format` is the format of the time to be displayed. See supported [datetime formats](https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#strftime-strptime-behavior) ## Install ``` virtualenv -p python3 venv source venv/bin/activate pip install -r requirements.txt ``` You could alias the whole command to `tww` for faster typing, e.g. in your `.bashrc`: ``` alias tww="~/workspace/tz/venv/bin/python ~/workspace/tz/tz.py" ``` ## Examples Time now (in this timezone): ``` $ tww now 2019-03-13 15:04:36 ``` Time now to another timezone (UTC let's say): ``` $ tww now to utc 2019-03-13 15:04:36 ``` One hour from now in UTC, showing only the time: ``` $ tww in 1 hour to cet --format="%T" 23:17:49 ``` With timezone: ``` $ tww now to asia/tokyo 2019-03-14 07:06:35 ``` Another time to timezone: ``` $ tww 15:10 to cet 2019-03-13 23:10:00 ``` Time in one timezone (pst) to another in city: ``` $ tww 3/14 15 9:26:53 PST to sofia 2015-03-14 19:26:53+02:00 ```
