t.p.a.DateTime(Argument) : class documentation

Part of twisted.protocols.amp View Source View In Hierarchy

Encodes datetime.datetime instances.

Wire format: '%04i-%02i-%02iT%02i:%02i:%02i.%06i%s%02i:%02i'. Fields in order are: year, month, day, hour, minute, second, microsecond, timezone direction (+ or -), timezone hour, timezone minute. Encoded string is always exactly 32 characters long. This format is compatible with ISO 8601, but that does not mean all ISO 8601 dates can be accepted.

Also, note that the datetime module's notion of a "timezone" can be complex, but the wire format includes only a fixed offset, so the conversion is not lossless. A lossless transmission of a datetime instance is not feasible since the receiving end would require a Python interpreter.

Method fromString Parse a string containing a date and time in the wire format into a datetime.datetime instance.
Method toString Serialize a datetime.datetime instance to a string in the specified wire format.
Instance Variable _positions A sequence of slices giving the positions of various interesting parts of the wire format.

Inherited from Argument:

Method __init__ Create an Argument.
Method retrieve Retrieve the given key from the given dictionary, removing it if found.
Method fromBox Populate an 'out' dictionary with mapping names to Python values decoded from an 'in' AmpBox mapping strings to string values.
Method toBox Populate an 'out' AmpBox with strings encoded from an 'in' dictionary mapping names to Python values.
Method fromStringProto Convert a string to a Python value.
Method toStringProto Convert a Python object to a string.
_positions =
A sequence of slices giving the positions of various interesting parts of the wire format.
def fromString(self, s): (source)
