The type ``DateTime_t`` is typedefed as ``unsigned short`` and is used to contain the number of years, hours, minutes, seconds and milliseconds. Global constant `wx.DefaultDateTime` and synonym for it `wx.InvalidDateTime` are defined. This constant will be different from any valid :ref:`wx.DateTime` object. |phoenix_title| Static Functions ================================ All static functions either set or return the static variables of :ref:`wx.DateSpan` (the country), return the current moment, year, month or number of days in it, or do some general calendar-related actions. Please note that although several function accept an extra Calendar parameter, it is currently ignored as only the Gregorian calendar is supported. Future versions will support other calendars. |phoenix_title| Date Formatting and Parsing =========================================== The date formatting and parsing functions convert :ref:`wx.DateTime` objects to and from text. The conversions to text are mostly trivial: you can either do it using the default date and time representations for the current locale ( :meth:`~wx.DateTime.FormatDate` and :meth:`~wx.DateTime.FormatTime`), using the international standard representation defined by ``ISO`` 8601 ( :meth:`~wx.DateTime.FormatISODate`, :meth:`~wx.DateTime.FormatISOTime` and :meth:`~wx.DateTime.FormatISOCombined`) or by specifying any format at all and using :meth:`~wx.DateTime.Format` directly. The conversions from text are more interesting, as there are much more possibilities to care about. The simplest cases can be taken care of with :meth:`~wx.DateTime.ParseFormat` which can parse any date in the given (rigid) format. :meth:`~wx.DateTime.ParseRfc822Date` is another function for parsing dates in predefined format – the one of ``RFC`` 822 which (still...) defines the format of email messages on the Internet. This format cannot be described with ``strptime(3)-like`` format strings used by :meth:`~wx.DateTime.Format`, hence the need for a separate function. But the most interesting functions are :meth:`~wx.DateTime.ParseTime`, :meth:`~wx.DateTime.ParseDate` and :meth:`~wx.DateTime.ParseDateTime`. They try to parse the date and time (or only one of them) in 'free' format, i.e. allow them to be specified in any of possible ways. These functions will usually be used to parse the (interactive) user input which is not bound to be in any predefined format. As an example, :meth:`~wx.DateTime.ParseDate` can parse the strings such as "tomorrow", "March first" and even "next Sunday". Finally notice that each of the parsing functions is available in several overloads: if the input string is a narrow ( ``char`` ) string, then a narrow pointer is returned. If the input string is a wide string, a wide int pointer is returned. Finally, if the input parameter is a `String` , a narrow int pointer is also returned for backwards compatibility but there is also an additional argument of `String.const_iterator` type in which, if it is not ``None``, an iterator pointing to the end of the scanned string part is returned. .. seealso:: :ref:`Date and Time `, :ref:`wx.TimeSpan`, :ref:`wx.DateSpan`, :ref:`wx.adv.CalendarCtrl` | |class_hierarchy| Class Hierarchy ================================= .. raw:: html

The MJDs are simpler to work with as the integral MJDs correspond to midnights of the dates in the Gregorian calendar and not the noons like ``JDN``. The ``MJD`` 0 represents Nov 17, 1858. :rtype: `float` .. method:: GetMonth(self, tz=Local) Returns the month in the given timezone (local one by default). :param `tz`: :type `tz`: wx.DateTime.TimeZone :rtype: :ref:`wx.DateTime.Month` .. staticmethod:: GetMonthName(month, flags=Name_Full) Gets the full (default) or abbreviated name of the given month.

By definition, the Rata Die number is a date specified as the number of days relative to a base date of December 31 of the year 0. Thus January 1 of the year 1 is Rata Die day 1. :rtype: `float` .. method:: GetSecond(self, tz=Local) Returns the seconds in the given timezone (local one by default). :param `tz`: :type `tz`: wx.DateTime.TimeZone :rtype: `intshort` .. method:: GetTicks(self) Returns the number of seconds since Jan 1, 1970 ``UTC``. This function is provided solely for interoperability with the standard C library and other libraries using ``time_t`` values. If you just need to get the value represented by this object as a number, use :meth:`GetValue` instead, which doesn't lose precision and covers the entire supported range of dates, unlike this one which is limited to the range of positive 32 bit values, i.e. from Jan 1, 1970 to around Jan 19, 2038 and returns ``-1`` for the dates outside of it. Additionally, this method must be called on an initialized date object and an assertion failure occurs if it is called on an object for which :meth:`IsValid` is ``False``. :rtype: `int` .. staticmethod:: GetTimeNow() Returns the current time. :rtype: `int` .. method:: GetTm(self, tz=Local) Returns broken down representation of the date and time. :param `tz`: :type `tz`: wx.DateTime.TimeZone :rtype: :ref:`wx.DateTime.Tm` .. method:: GetValue(self) Returns the number of milliseconds since Jan 1, 1970 ``UTC``. Directly returns the internal representation of :ref:`wx.DateTime` object as the number of milliseconds (positive or negative) since the Unix/C epoch. :rtype: `long` .. method:: GetWeekBasedYear(self, tz) Returns the year to which the week containing this date belongs. The value returned by this function is the same as the year, except, possibly, for a few days at the very beginning and very end of the year if they belong to a week which is mostly (i.e. at least 4 days) is in another year in which case that other (previous or next) year is returned. For example, January 1 in 2015 belongs to the first year of 2015, hence :meth:`GetWeekOfYear` for it returns 1 and this function returns 2015. However January 1 in 2016 belongs to the last week of 2015 according to ``ISO`` 8601 standard rules and so :meth:`GetWeekOfYear` returns 53 and this function returns 2015, although :meth:`GetYear` returns 2016. :param `tz`: :type `tz`: wx.DateTime.TimeZone :rtype: `int` .. versionadded:: 4.1/wxWidgets-3.1.0 .. method:: GetWeekDay(self, *args, **kw) |overload| Overloaded Implementations: :html:`

` **ParseFormat** `(self, date, format, dateDef)` This function parses the string `date` according to the given `format`. The system ``strptime(3)`` function is used whenever available, but even if it is not, this function is still implemented, although support for locale-dependent format specifiers such as ``"%c"`` , ``"%x"`` or ``"%X"`` may not be perfect and ``GNU`` extensions such as ``"%z"`` and ``"%Z"`` are not implemented. This function does handle the month and weekday names in the current locale on all platforms, however. Please see the description of the ``ANSI`` C function ``strftime(3)`` for the syntax of the format string. The `dateDef` parameter is used to fill in the fields which could not be determined from the format string. For example, if the format is ``"%d"`` (the day of the month), the month and the year are taken from `dateDef`. If it is not specified, :meth:`Today` is used as the default date. Example of using this function: :: dt = wx.DateTime() # Uninitialized datetime bDate = "25/12/2012" if dt.ParseFormat(bDate, "%d-%m-%Y") == -1: # This datetime format is wrong on purpose print "Wrong format" elif dt.ParseFormat(bDate, "%d/%m/%Y") >= 0: # This is correct print "Format OK!", dt :param `date`: The string to be parsed. :type `date`: string :param `format`: strptime()-like format string. :type `format`: string :param `dateDef`: Used to fill in the date components not specified in the `date` string. :type `dateDef`: wx.DateTime :rtype: `int` :returns: -1 if the parse failed, the number of characters parsed otherwise. .. seealso:: :meth:`Format` :html:`

` .. method:: ParseISOCombined(self, date, sep='T') This function parses the string containing the date and time in ``ISO`` 8601 combined format ``"YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS"`` . The separator between the date and time parts must be equal to `sep` for the function to succeed. :param `date`: :type `date`: string :param `sep`: :type `sep`: int :rtype: `bool` :returns: ``True`` if the entire string was parsed successfully, ``False`` otherwise. .. method:: ParseISODate(self, date) This function parses the date in ``ISO`` 8601 format ``"YYYY-MM-DD"`` . :param `date`: :type `date`: string :rtype: `bool` :returns: ``True`` if the entire string was parsed successfully, ``False`` otherwise. .. method:: ParseISOTime(self, date) This function parses the time in ``ISO`` 8601 format ``"HH:MM:SS"`` . :param `date`: :type `date`: string :rtype: `bool` :returns: ``True`` if the entire string was parsed successfully, ``False`` otherwise. .. method:: ParseRfc822Date(self, date) Parses the string `date` looking for a date formatted according to the ``RFC`` 822 in it. The exact description of this format may, of course, be found in the ``RFC`` (section 5), but, briefly, this is the format used in the headers of Internet email messages and one of the most common strings expressing date in this format may be something like ``"Sat, 18 Dec 1999 00:48:30 +0100"`` . Returns ``None`` if the conversion failed, otherwise return the pointer to the character immediately following the part of the string which could be parsed. If the entire string contains only the date in ``RFC`` 822 format, the returned pointer will be pointing to a ``NUL`` character. This function is intentionally strict, it will return an error for any string which is not ``RFC`` 822 compliant. If you need to parse date formatted in more free ways, you should use :meth:`ParseDateTime` or :meth:`ParseDate` instead. See :meth:`ParseFormat` for the description of function parameters and return value. :param `date`: :type `date`: string :rtype: `int` .. method:: ParseTime(self, time) This functions is like :meth:`ParseDateTime` , but only allows the time to be specified in the input string.

If the function parameters are invalid, e.g. `month` is February and `day` is 30, the object is left in an invalid state, i.e. :meth:`IsValid` method will return ``False``. If the specified time moment is invalid due to ``DST``, i.e. it falls into the "missing" hour on the date on which the ``DST`` starts, a valid :ref:`wx.DateTime` object is still constructed but its hour component is moved forward to ensure that it corresponds to a valid moment in the local time zone. For example, in the ``CET`` time zone the ``DST`` started on 2013-03-31T02:00:00 in 2013 and so setting the object to 2:30 at this date actually sets the hour to 3, and not 2. :param `day`: :type `day`: int :param `month`: :type `month`: DateTime.Month :param `year`: :type `year`: int :param `hour`: :type `hour`: int :param `minute`: :type `minute`: int :param `second`: :type `second`: int :param `millisec`: :type `millisec`: int :rtype: :ref:`wx.DateTime` .. method:: SetHMS(self, hour, minute=0, second=0, millisec=0) Sets the date to be equal to :meth:`Today` and the time from supplied parameters.

The parameter `n` may be either positive (counting from the beginning of the month) or negative (counting from the end of it). For example, `SetToWeekDay(wxDateTime.Wed,` 2) will set the date to the second Wednesday in the current month and SetToWeekDay( :meth:`wx.DateTime.Sun` , -1) will set the date to the last Sunday in the current month.
