gnome.scripting.time_utils

Handy utilities for working with time

Internally, py_Gnome uses datetime.timedelta objects to represent time spans. But it is a bit awkward to create these objects:

datetime.timedelta(seconds=3600)

The time_utils module provides handy utilities to make it easier to construct these objects.

Examples:

hours() – represents one hour

hours(12) – represents 12 hours

As these functions return timedelta objects, you can do math with them:

seconds() * 60
days(2) + hours(12)

etc…

These are the full set:

seconds

minutes

hours

days

weeks
