Introduction
The mxDateTime package provides consistent way of transferring date and
time data between Python and databases.
Apart from handling dates before the Unix epoch (1.1.1970) they also
correctly work with dates beyond the Unix time limit (currently with Unix
time values being commonly encoded using 32bit integers, the limit is
reached in 2038) and thus is Year 2000 and Year 2038 safe.
The package provides three main data structures for working with date and
time values.
These are:
?
DateTime for referring to absolute date/time values,
?
DateTimeDelta for date/time spans and
?
RelativeDateTime for representing variable date/time spans (these
are the TABs of date/time calculation)
All object, functions and constants are available via the package namespace
mx.DateTime.
