Common errors

error ImportError: cannot import name 'Delorean' ↓

cause You imported delorean (lowercase) instead of Delorean (capitalized).

fix

Use: from delorean import Delorean

error TypeError: an integer is required (got type str) ↓

cause Passing a string as epoch instead of int/float.

fix

Use epoch=int('1234567890') or epoch=1234567890.

Warnings

gotcha Delorean class does not support direct arithmetic, use .shift() or .next_day() etc. ↓

fix Use .shift(hours=2) or .next_day() instead of adding timedelta.

deprecated Some datetime methods may be deprecated in modern Python; Delorean was last updated in 2016. ↓

fix Consider using pendulum or dateutil for actively maintained alternatives.

Quickstart

Basic usage: create a Delorean object for the current UTC time, or from a specific datetime with timezone, or from a Unix timestamp.

from delorean import Delorean, epoch
from datetime import datetime

d = Delorean()
print(d.datetime)

d2 = Delorean(datetime(2020, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0), timezone='US/Eastern')
print(d2.datetime)

print(Delorean(epoch=1000000000).datetime)
