It uses dateparser to handle natural-language date strings like \"2 weeks ago\" or \"December 18, 2012\", and integrates pytz for timezone handling. You can parse dates from strings, Unix timestamps, or datetime objects; add or subtract time units; replace specific components; and format output using either Moment.js-style or strftime-style format strings.\n\nThe package is explicitly marked as beta-quality software and has been abandoned since 2020, with the maintainer recommending arrow or pendulum as alternatives in the installation documentation. It supports Python 2.7 and 3.6\u20133.7 according to its classifiers, and has received no updates in over five years despite having 741 GitHub stars.","worth_installing":"No. While the package has low install friction and a permissive license, it is abandoned (last release 2020-11-27, no commits since 2023-04-24) and explicitly marked as beta-quality. The maintainer recommends arrow or pendulum instead. For new projects, choose an actively maintained alternative; for legacy code already using moment, consider migrating to reduce long-term maintenance risk."},"id":"moment","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/moment","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/moment.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/moment/"},"maintenance":{"status":"abandoned"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2020-11-27","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"moment","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"Dealing with dates and times should be easy"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":310094,"position":7748,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.12.1"}
