AceTime for Python

The acetimepy library provides classes compatible with the Python standard datetime library to support all timezones defined by the IANA TZ database. In particular, the acetime.timezone.acetz class is an implementation of the tzinfo abstract class, and is a drop-in replacement for timezone classes provided by other Python libraries such as:

The initial motivation of this library was to build a Python environment that was easier to prototype compared to the embedded C++ environment required by the AceTime library. To support that use-case, the acetz class uses the same algorithm used by the ExtendedZoneProcessor class in the AceTime C++ library for Arduino. That motivation became mostly moot after EpoxyDuino became a suitable and productive environment for developing AceTime on a Linux desktop.

There are 2 timezone databases provided by this library:

Custom subsets of the full TZ database could be created to save memory using the AceTimeTools project. The process has not been documented, but can probably be inferred from the Makefiles in acetime.zonedb and acetime.zonedball.

Currently, the main uses of this library are:

  1. Generating transition buffer size requirements for the zone databases used in the AceTime library (since AceTime uses fixed-sized buffers instead of dynamically-sized buffers).
  2. Validating the AceTime ExtendedZoneProcessor class through the AceTimeValidation project.
  3. Verifying the accuracy of other Python libraries. See the Compare to Other Python Libraries section below.
  4. Exploring the feasibility of porting this library to MicroPython.

This library is intended as a reference implementation, with priority given to accuracy, ease of maintenance, and compatibility with the AceTime library for Arduino. It has not been optimized for speed or memory efficiency, so it is not intended to be used in critical production environments. Informal benchmarking (see Benchmarks below) shows that acetimepy is similar in performance to pytz and dateutil, while zoneinfo is substantially faster than the others because it is implemented as a C-module.

Among these 4 Python libraries that are mentioned above, acetimepy seems to be the only library that calculates accurate datetime.dst() information for all timezones within the years supported by the IANA TZDB (from 1844 until 2088). In addition, acetimepy has the advantage that the TZDB version can be controlled deterministically, instead of being pulled from the underlying operating system (as done by dateutil and zoneinfo). This makes acetimepy easier to use for unit testing, integration testing, and continuous integration because the behavior of each timezone is reproducible.

This library was known as AceTimePython before being renamed to acetimepy to be more compatible with Python package naming conventions.

Installation

This library is not yet on PyPI so it needs to be installed manually from its git repo. The library has no external dependencies other than the standard Python library. It works on Python 3.7 or higher.

$ git clone https://github.com/bxparks/acetimepy
$ cd acetimepy

To install into your personal local environment, with symlinks back to the git repo, you can use:

$ pip3 install --user -e .

If you are using a Python virtual environment, then you can type just:

$ pip3 install

<a name="Usage"></a>

Usage

The package structure and usage of this library is motivated by the purpose of this library to validate the C++ AceTime library. Therefore, this library may not implement some "pythonic" conventions that some Python programmers may prefer.

<a name="PackageStructure"></a>

Package Structure

The Python naming and packaging conventions are opaque and confusing to me. Here are some notes about this project which are hopefully helpful:

The identifier of the project on GitHub and on PyPI (TBD) is:

The human-readable long version of the project is "AceTime for Python". Both of these are intended to convey that this is the Python version of the original AceTime C++ library for Arduino

The name of the top-level Python package provided by this library is:

There are several modules under the acetime package. The end-users will normally import 3 of them:

Within the acetime.timezone module, there are 2 classes that the end-user will use:

The zonedb and zonedball subpackages contain various data structures which encode the timezone information as extracted from the IANA TZDB database. (acetimepy does not use the timezone files on the host computer to ensure stability and reproducibility). There are 4 modules in each of the subpackages, but the 2 that the end-users will likely use are:

The zonedb*.zone_infos.ZONE_INFO_xxx constants are passed into the constructor of the acetime.timezone.acetz object. The ZONE_REGISTRY and ZONE_AND_LINK_REGISTRY are passed into the acetime.timezone.ZoneManger object.

The ZONE_REGISTRY contains only the Zone entries (350 as of TZDB 2023c). This is a shorter list that is useful for unit and integration tests.

The ZONE_AND_LINK_REGISTRY contains both Zone and Link entries (596 as of 2023c). This should be used if the application is user-facing because it will contain all the timezones that the end-user is allowed to use.

<a name="ZoneContext"></a>

Zone Context

Three constants are provided in the acetime.zonedb.zone_infos module:

(These could have been placed in a separate acetime.zonedb.zone_context module, but the AceTime C++ library puts them in zone_infos, so this library follows that convention.)

<a name="AcetzUsingConstructor"></a>

Acetz Using Constructor

An instance of acetz can be created directly through the constructor using a zonedb entry, like this:

from datetime import datetime
from acetime.timezone import acetz
from acetime.zonedb.zone_infos import ZONE_INFO_America_Los_Angeles

# Create an acetz from a zonedb entry.
tz = acetz(ZONE_INFO_America_Los_Angeles)

# Create date from unix seconds
unix_seconds = 954669600
dte = datetime.fromtimestamp(unix_seconds, tz=tz)

# Create date from components
dtc = datetime(2000, 4, 2, 3, 0, 0, tzinfo=tz)

assert dte == dtc
print(dte)

This should print

2000-04-02 03:00:00-07:00

The list of other ZONE_INFO_xxx entries can be found in the zone_infos.py file.

<a name="AcetzUsingZoneManagerFactory"></a>

Acetz Using ZoneManager Factory

The acetz class can also be created through the ZoneManager factory class. An instance of ZoneManager must be configured with the registry of the supported timezones. This library provides an acetime.zonedb.zone_registry module which has 2 pre-generated registries containing timezone information from 1974 until 2100:

We can then create an instance of acetz using a timezone name (e.g. "America/Los_Angeles") through the ZoneManager.gettz() method:

from datetime import datetime
from acetime.acetz import ZoneManager
from acetime.zonedb.zone_registry import ZONE_AND_LINK_REGISTRY

# Create a ZoneManager configured with the given registry
zone_manager = ZoneManager(ZONE_AND_LINK_REGISTRY)

# Create an acetz using the ZoneManager.
tz = zone_manager.gettz('America/Los_Angeles')

# Create date from unix seconds
# $ date +%s -d '2000-04-02T03:00:00-07:00'
unix_seconds = 954669600
dte = datetime.fromtimestamp(unix_seconds, tz=tz)

# Create date from components
dtc = datetime(2000, 4, 2, 3, 0, 0, tzinfo=tz)

assert dte == dtc
print(dte)

This should also print

2000-04-02 03:00:00-07:00

It is possible to generate custom registries with different subsets of timezones using the tools provided by the AceTimeTools project.

<a name="DateTimeFold"></a>

DateTime Fold

The acetz class supports the fold parameter in datetime which is described in PEP 495 and implemented in in Python 3.6.

The following code snippet shows 2 ways to create a datetime for 01:59:59 which occurs twice on 2000-10-29 in the America/Los_Angeles timezone:

from datetime import datetime
from acetime.acetz import acetz
from acetime.zonedb.zone_infos import ZONE_INFO_America_Los_Angeles

tz = acetz(ZONE_INFO_America_Los_Angeles)

# Creates the earlier of the 2 times.
dt = datetime(2000, 10, 29, 1, 59, 59, tzinfo=tz, fold=0)
print(dt)

# Creates the later of the 2 times.
dt = datetime(2000, 10, 29, 1, 59, 59, tzinfo=tz, fold=1)
print(dt)

This prints:

2000-10-29 01:59:59-07:00
2000-10-29 01:59:59-08:00

<a name="TimeZoneFullName"></a>

TimeZone Full Name

The acetz class extends the tzinfo class with the tzfullname() method that complements the tzname() method from tzinfo:

class acetz(tzinfo):
    ...
    def tzfullname(self) -> str:
    ...

For normal Zone entries, this returns the full time zone name (e.g. America/Los_Angeles). For Link entries, this returns the name of the link (e.g. US/Pacific).

<a name="TimeZoneIsLink"></a>

TimeZone Is Link

The acetz class adds 2 methods in addition to the inherited methods from the tzinfo base class to support Link entries. The islink() method returns True for Links, and the targetname() returns the name of the target Zone:

class acetz(tzinfo):
    ...
    def islink(self) -> bool:
    def targetname(self) -> str:
    ...

The targetname() method returns the empty string for normal Zone entries.

<a name="CompareToOtherLibraries"></a>

Compare to Other Python Libraries

The validate_zoneinfo directory compares the acetime.timezone.acetz class against the Python 3.9 zoneinfo.ZoneInfo class, and generates a variance report. The output zoneinfo_variance.txt is reproduced below. It shows that the zoneinfo.ZoneInfo class has some bugs related to the accuracy of the datetime.dst() method for a few zones. It is usually easy to see that acetime.timezone.acetz produces the correct DST offset by going to the raw TZDB source files for each zone.

Feedback and Support

If you have any questions, comments, or feature requests for this library, please use the GitHub Discussions for this project. If you have bug reports, please file a ticket in GitHub Issues. Feature requests should go into Discussions first because they often have alternative solutions which are useful to remain visible, instead of disappearing from the default view of the Issue tracker after the ticket is closed.

Please refrain from emailing me directly unless the content is sensitive. The problem with email is that I cannot reference the email conversation when other people ask similar questions later.
