Various date and time objects are supplied by the datetime module.
Before using any of these functions, the header file datetime.h must be
included in your source (note that this is not included by Python.h),
and the macro PyDateTime_IMPORT must be invoked, usually as part of
the module initialisation function. The macro puts a pointer to a C structure
into a static variable, PyDateTimeAPI, that is used by the following
macros.
Macro for access to the UTC singleton:
PyDateTime_TimeZone_UTCReturns the time zone singleton representing UTC, the same object as
datetime.timezone.utc.
New in version 3.7.
Type-check macros:
PyDate_Check(PyObject *ob)PyDateTime_DateType or a subtype of PyDateTime_DateType. ob must not be NULL.PyDate_CheckExact(PyObject *ob)PyDateTime_DateType. ob must not be NULL.PyDateTime_Check(PyObject *ob)PyDateTime_DateTimeType or a subtype of PyDateTime_DateTimeType. ob must not be NULL.PyDateTime_CheckExact(PyObject *ob)PyDateTime_DateTimeType. ob must not be NULL.PyTime_Check(PyObject *ob)PyDateTime_TimeType or a subtype of PyDateTime_TimeType. ob must not be NULL.PyTime_CheckExact(PyObject *ob)PyDateTime_TimeType. ob must not be NULL.PyDelta_Check(PyObject *ob)PyDateTime_DeltaType or a subtype of PyDateTime_DeltaType. ob must not be NULL.PyDelta_CheckExact(PyObject *ob)PyDateTime_DeltaType. ob must not be NULL.PyTZInfo_Check(PyObject *ob)PyDateTime_TZInfoType or a subtype of PyDateTime_TZInfoType. ob must not be NULL.PyTZInfo_CheckExact(PyObject *ob)PyDateTime_TZInfoType. ob must not be NULL.Macros to create objects:
PyDate_FromDate(int year, int month, int day)Return value: New reference.
Return a datetime.date object with the specified year, month and day.
PyDateTime_FromDateAndTime(int year, int month, int day, int hour, int minute, int second, int usecond)Return value: New reference.
Return a datetime.datetime object with the specified year, month, day, hour,
minute, second and microsecond.
PyDateTime_FromDateAndTimeAndFold(int year, int month, int day, int hour, int minute, int second, int usecond, int fold)Return value: New reference.
Return a datetime.datetime object with the specified year, month, day, hour,
minute, second, microsecond and fold.
New in version 3.6.
PyTime_FromTime(int hour, int minute, int second, int usecond)Return value: New reference.
Return a datetime.time object with the specified hour, minute, second and
microsecond.
PyTime_FromTimeAndFold(int hour, int minute, int second, int usecond, int fold)Return value: New reference.
Return a datetime.time object with the specified hour, minute, second,
microsecond and fold.
New in version 3.6.
PyDelta_FromDSU(int days, int seconds, int useconds)Return value: New reference.
Return a datetime.timedelta object representing the given number
of days, seconds and microseconds. Normalization is performed so that the
resulting number of microseconds and seconds lie in the ranges documented for
datetime.timedelta objects.
PyTimeZone_FromOffset(PyDateTime_DeltaType* offset)Return value: New reference.
Return a datetime.timezone object with an unnamed fixed offset
represented by the offset argument.
New in version 3.7.
PyTimeZone_FromOffsetAndName(PyDateTime_DeltaType* offset, PyUnicode* name)Return value: New reference.
Return a datetime.timezone object with a fixed offset represented
by the offset argument and with tzname name.
New in version 3.7.
Macros to extract fields from date objects. The argument must be an instance of
PyDateTime_Date, including subclasses (such as
PyDateTime_DateTime). The argument must not be NULL, and the type is
not checked:
PyDateTime_GET_YEAR(PyDateTime_Date *o)PyDateTime_GET_MONTH(PyDateTime_Date *o)PyDateTime_GET_DAY(PyDateTime_Date *o)Macros to extract fields from datetime objects. The argument must be an
instance of PyDateTime_DateTime, including subclasses. The argument
must not be NULL, and the type is not checked:
PyDateTime_DATE_GET_HOUR(PyDateTime_DateTime *o)PyDateTime_DATE_GET_MINUTE(PyDateTime_DateTime *o)PyDateTime_DATE_GET_SECOND(PyDateTime_DateTime *o)PyDateTime_DATE_GET_MICROSECOND(PyDateTime_DateTime *o)Macros to extract fields from time objects. The argument must be an instance of
PyDateTime_Time, including subclasses. The argument must not be NULL,
and the type is not checked:
PyDateTime_TIME_GET_HOUR(PyDateTime_Time *o)PyDateTime_TIME_GET_MINUTE(PyDateTime_Time *o)PyDateTime_TIME_GET_SECOND(PyDateTime_Time *o)PyDateTime_TIME_GET_MICROSECOND(PyDateTime_Time *o)Macros to extract fields from time delta objects. The argument must be an
instance of PyDateTime_Delta, including subclasses. The argument must
not be NULL, and the type is not checked:
PyDateTime_DELTA_GET_DAYS(PyDateTime_Delta *o)Return the number of days, as an int from -999999999 to 999999999.
New in version 3.3.
PyDateTime_DELTA_GET_SECONDS(PyDateTime_Delta *o)Return the number of seconds, as an int from 0 through 86399.
New in version 3.3.
PyDateTime_DELTA_GET_MICROSECONDS(PyDateTime_Delta *o)Return the number of microseconds, as an int from 0 through 999999.
New in version 3.3.
Macros for the convenience of modules implementing the DB API:
PyDateTime_FromTimestamp(PyObject *args)Return value: New reference.
Create and return a new datetime.datetime object given an argument
tuple suitable for passing to datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp().
PyDate_FromTimestamp(PyObject *args)Return value: New reference.
Create and return a new datetime.date object given an argument
tuple suitable for passing to datetime.date.fromtimestamp().
