Another simple datetime+struct_time class
I had shown how datetime can be used in python 2.2
in a previous snippet. Still, it's sometimes too big.
Here's a minimal implementation. It works like both
datetime and stuct_time (as returned by localtime() and gmtime()).

1 2 import time 3 4 class datetime(object): 5 def __init__(self, *argv): 6 self.t = time.struct_time(argv+(0,)*(9-len(argv))) # append to length 9 7 def __getattr__(self, name): 8 try: 9 i = ['year', 'month', 'day', 'hour', 'minute', 'second', 'weekday'].index(name) 10 return self.t[i] 11 except: 12 return getattr(self.t, name) 13 def __len__(self): return len(self.t) 14 def __getitem__(self, key): return self.t[key] 15 def __repr__(self): return repr(self.t) 16 def now(self=None): 17 return datetime(*time.localtime()) 18 now = staticmethod(now) 19 def strftime(self, fmt="%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"): 20 return time.strftime(fmt, self.t)
Here's its usage
1 2 # here it works like datetime.datetime() 3 >>> t = datetime.now() 4 >>> t.year, t.month, t.day 5 (2006, 3, 13) 6 >>> t.hour, t.minute, t.second 7 (23, 3, 28) 8 9 # but also works like localtime() 10 >>> t 11 (2006, 3, 13, 23, 3, 28, 0, 72, -1) 12 >>> t.tm_year, t[0] 13 (2006, 2006) 14 >>> mktime(t) 15 1142265808.0 16 17 # good default for strftime (= ctime) 18 >>> t.strftime() 19 '2006-03-13 23:03:28'
