Class API

---

class wx.TimeSpan(object)

Possible constructors:

TimeSpan()

TimeSpan(hours, min=0, sec=0, msec=0)

TimeSpan class represents a time interval.

Methods

---

__init__(self, *args, **kw)

Overloaded Implementations:

---

__init__ (self)

Default constructor, constructs a zero timespan.

---

__init__ (self, hours, min=0, sec=0, msec=0)

Constructs timespan from separate values for each component, with the date set to 0.

Hours are not restricted to 0-24 range, neither are minutes, seconds or milliseconds.

Parameters:

• hours (long) –
• min (long) –
• sec (long) –
• msec (long) –

---

---

Abs(self)

Returns the absolute value of the timespan: does not modify the object.

Return type: wx.TimeSpan

---

Add(self, diff)

Adds the given wx.TimeSpan to this wx.TimeSpan and returns a reference to itself.

Parameters:diff (wx.TimeSpan) – Return type: wx.TimeSpan

---

static Day()

Returns the timespan for one day.

Return type: wx.TimeSpan

---

static Days(days)

Returns the timespan for the given number of days.

Parameters:days (long) – Return type: wx.TimeSpan

---

Format(self, format=DefaultTimeSpanFormat)

Returns the string containing the formatted representation of the time span.

The following format specifiers are allowed after %:

• H - Number of Hours
• M - Number of Minutes
• S - Number of Seconds
• l - Number of Milliseconds
• D - Number of Days
• E - Number of Weeks
• % - The percent character

Note that, for example, the number of hours in the description above is not well defined: it can be either the total number of hours (for example, for a time span of 50 hours this would be 50) or just the hour part of the time span, which would be 2 in this case as 50 hours is equal to 2 days and 2 hours.

wx.TimeSpan resolves this ambiguity in the following way: if there had been, indeed, the D format specified preceding the H , then it is interpreted as 2. Otherwise, it is 50.

The same applies to all other format specifiers: if they follow a specifier of larger unit, only the rest part is taken, otherwise the full value is used.

Parameters:format (string) – Return type:string

---

IsEqualTo(self, ts)

Returns True if two timespans are equal.
