DocStrings

Parameters:

Name Type Description Default
value (timedelta, int or float)

A timedelta or a number of seconds.

required
months bool

If True, then a number of months (based on 30.5 days) will be used for fuzziness between years.

True
minimum_unit str

The lowest unit that can be used.

'seconds'

Returns:

Name Type Description
str str or `value`

A natural representation of the amount of time elapsed unless value is not datetime.timedelta or cannot be converted to int (cannot be float due to 'inf' or 'nan'). In that case, a value is returned unchanged.

Raises:

Type Description
OverflowError

If value is too large to convert to datetime.timedelta.

Examples:

Compare two timestamps in a custom local timezone::

import datetime as dt from dateutil.tz import gettz

berlin = gettz("Europe/Berlin") now = dt.datetime.now(tz=berlin) later = now + dt.timedelta(minutes=30)

assert naturaldelta(later - now) == "30 minutes"

    A custom `format` can be specified to control how the fractional part
    is represented:

    ```pycon

    '2 days, 1 hour and 33.1230 seconds'

    Instead, the `minimum_unit` can be changed to have a better resolution;
    the function will still readjust the unit to use the greatest of the
    units that does not lose precision.

    For example setting microseconds but still representing the date with milliseconds:

    ```pycon
    >>> precisedelta(delta, minimum_unit="microseconds")
    '2 days, 1 hour, 33 seconds and 123 milliseconds'

    ```

    If desired, some units can be suppressed: you will not see them represented and the
    time of the other units will be adjusted to keep representing the same timedelta:

    ```pycon
    >>> precisedelta(delta, suppress=['days'])
    '49 hours and 33.12 seconds'

    Note that microseconds precision is lost if the seconds and all
    the units below are suppressed:

    ```pycon
    >>> delta = dt.timedelta(seconds=90, microseconds=100)
    >>> precisedelta(delta, suppress=['seconds', 'milliseconds', 'microseconds'])
    '1.50 minutes'

    If the delta is too small to be represented with the minimum unit,
    a value of zero will be returned:

    ```pycon
    >>> delta = dt.timedelta(seconds=1)
    >>> precisedelta(delta, minimum_unit="minutes")
