It provides parsers for dates, times, durations, and recurrence patterns, plus utilities to dump and format them. The package is designed to work similarly to Python's built-in datetime module but with complete ISO 8601 support, including extended year formats, week-based dates, ordinal dates, decimal fractions, and timezone offsets.\n\nThe library has no runtime dependencies and supports Python 3.7 through 3.11. It exposes both a Python API for programmatic use and a command-line interface for quick parsing and manipulation tasks. It is actively maintained, with recent commits and a stable production classification.","worth_installing":"Yes. This package is worth installing if you need to parse or work with ISO 8601 date-time strings in a standards-compliant way. It has zero runtime dependencies, is actively maintained, supports current Python versions, and carries no known security vulnerabilities. The LGPLv3 license is permissive for most use cases. Install it if your application receives or generates ISO 8601 formatted dates."},"id":"metomi-isodatetime","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/metomi-isodatetime","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/metomi-isodatetime.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/metomi-isodatetime/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2023-10-05","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"copyleft","name":"metomi-isodatetime","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Python ISO 8601 date time parser and data model/manipulation utilities"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":78560,"position":14429,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1!3.1.0"}
