Various date and time objects are supplied by the datetime module. Before using any of these functions, the header file datetime.h must be included in your source (note that this is not included by Python.h), and the macro PyDateTime_IMPORT must be invoked, usually as part of the module initialisation function. The macro puts a pointer to a C structure into a static variable, PyDateTimeAPI, that is used by the following macros.
Type-check macros:
Return true if ob is of type PyDateTime_DateType or a subtype of PyDateTime_DateType. ob must not be NULL.
Return true if ob is of type PyDateTime_DateType. ob must not be NULL.
Return true if ob is of type PyDateTime_DateTimeType or a subtype of PyDateTime_DateTimeType. ob must not be NULL.
Return true if ob is of type PyDateTime_DateTimeType. ob must not be NULL.
Return true if ob is of type PyDateTime_TimeType or a subtype of PyDateTime_TimeType. ob must not be NULL.
Return true if ob is of type PyDateTime_TimeType. ob must not be NULL.
Return true if ob is of type PyDateTime_DeltaType or a subtype of PyDateTime_DeltaType. ob must not be NULL.
Return true if ob is of type PyDateTime_DeltaType. ob must not be NULL.
Return true if ob is of type PyDateTime_TZInfoType or a subtype of PyDateTime_TZInfoType. ob must not be NULL.
Return true if ob is of type PyDateTime_TZInfoType. ob must not be NULL.
Macros to create objects:
Return a datetime.date object with the specified year, month and day.
Return a datetime.datetime object with the specified year, month, day, hour, minute, second and microsecond.
Return a datetime.time object with the specified hour, minute, second and microsecond.
Return a datetime.timedelta object representing the given number of days, seconds and microseconds. Normalization is performed so that the resulting number of microseconds and seconds lie in the ranges documented for datetime.timedelta objects.
Macros to extract fields from date objects. The argument must be an instance of PyDateTime_Date, including subclasses (such as PyDateTime_DateTime). The argument must not be NULL, and the type is not checked:
Return the year, as a positive int.
Return the month, as an int from 1 through 12.
Return the day, as an int from 1 through 31.
Macros to extract fields from datetime objects. The argument must be an instance of PyDateTime_DateTime, including subclasses. The argument must not be NULL, and the type is not checked:
Return the hour, as an int from 0 through 23.
Return the minute, as an int from 0 through 59.
Return the second, as an int from 0 through 59.
Return the microsecond, as an int from 0 through 999999.
Macros to extract fields from time objects. The argument must be an instance of PyDateTime_Time, including subclasses. The argument must not be NULL, and the type is not checked:
Return the hour, as an int from 0 through 23.
Return the minute, as an int from 0 through 59.
Return the second, as an int from 0 through 59.
Return the microsecond, as an int from 0 through 999999.
