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 <datetime-like> to <timezone or location>

<datetime-like> 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 for more.

to <timezone or location> 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. In case it can't find the country or city, it uses geopy for location resolution. Finally it uses timezonefinder for timezone resolution.

• --format is the format of the time to be displayed. See supported datetime formats

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
