Static Method Details

new(*args, **kargs)

Date objects can be created in many different ways:

Option 1: No arguments for now.

Date()

Option 2: Provide the individual parts as numbers. The year is the only one that is absolutely necessary.

Date(year, month, day, hour, minute, second)
Date(year, month, day)
Date(year)

Option 3: Converts a string using a custom format. Format options are described in the strftime manpage. Search the web for "strftime unix manpage" for the options.

Date('2010-01-31', '%Y-%m-%d')

Option 4: Converts a string using ISO 8601 date format or a few other common formats

Date('2010-01-31')
Date('10-01-31')
Date('01-31-2010')
Date('2010 01 31')
Date('10 01 31')
Date('01 31 2010')
Date('2010.01.31')
Date('10.01.31')
Date('01.31.2010')
Date('2010/01/31')
Date('10/01/31')
Date('01/31/2010')
Date('2010-Jan-01')
Date('25 JAN 2005')
Date('25 Jan 2010')
Date('25 January 2005')
Date('2010-January-01')
Date('January 1, 2010')
Date('Jan 1, 2010')

Time can be specified with any of the above formats with hh:mm:ss, as in

Date('2010-01-31 14:15:25')
Date('2010-01-31 02:15:25am')
Date('2010-01-31 02:15:25 am')

but with the Date() function, the time information is ignored. Use DateTime if you want to keep time information as well.
