        Installation
        ============
        
        The recommended installation method is to use pip::
        
          $ pip install aniso8601
        
        Alternatively, you can download the source (git repository hosted at `Bitbucket <https://bitbucket.org/nielsenb/aniso8601>`_) and install directly::
        
          $ python setup.py install
        
        Use
        ===
        
        Parsing datetimes
        -----------------
        
        To parse a typical ISO 8601 datetime string::
        
          >>> import aniso8601
          >>> aniso8601.parse_datetime('1977-06-10T12:00:00Z')
          datetime.datetime(1977, 6, 10, 12, 0, tzinfo=+0:00:00 UTC)
        
        Alternative delimiters can be specified, for example, a space::
        
          >>> aniso8601.parse_datetime('1977-06-10 12:00:00Z', delimiter=' ')
          datetime.datetime(1977, 6, 10, 12, 0, tzinfo=+0:00:00 UTC)
        
        UTC offsets are supported::
        
          >>> aniso8601.parse_datetime('1979-06-05T08:00:00-08:00')
          datetime.datetime(1979, 6, 5, 8, 0, tzinfo=-8:00:00 UTC)
        
        If a UTC offset is not specified, the returned datetime will be naive::
        
          >>> aniso8601.parse_datetime('1983-01-22T08:00:00')
          datetime.datetime(1983, 1, 22, 8, 0)
        
        Parsing dates
        -------------
        
        To parse a date represented in an ISO 8601 string::
        
          >>> import aniso8601
          >>> aniso8601.parse_date('1984-04-23')
          datetime.date(1984, 4, 23)
        
        Basic format is supported as well::
        
          >>> aniso8601.parse_date('19840423')
          datetime.date(1984, 4, 23)
        
        To parse a date using the ISO 8601 week date format::
        
          >>> aniso8601.parse_date('1986-W38-1')
          datetime.date(1986, 9, 15)
        
        To parse an ISO 8601 ordinal date::
        
          >>> aniso8601.parse_date('1988-132')
          datetime.date(1988, 5, 11)
        
        Parsing times
        -------------
        
        To parse a time formatted as an ISO 8601 string::
        
          >>> import aniso8601
          >>> aniso8601.parse_time('11:31:14')
          datetime.time(11, 31, 14)
        
        As with all of the above, basic format is supported::
        
          >>> aniso8601.parse_time('113114')
          datetime.time(11, 31, 14)
        
        A UTC offset can be specified for times::
        
          >>> aniso8601.parse_time('17:18:19-02:30')
          datetime.time(17, 18, 19, tzinfo=-2:30:00 UTC)
          >>> aniso8601.parse_time('171819Z')
          datetime.time(17, 18, 19, tzinfo=+0:00:00 UTC)
        
        Reduced accuracy is supported::
        
          >>> aniso8601.parse_time('21:42')
          datetime.time(21, 42)
          >>> aniso8601.parse_time('22')
          datetime.time(22, 0)
        
        A decimal fraction is always allowed on the lowest order element of an ISO 8601 formatted time::
        
          >>> aniso8601.parse_time('22:33.5')
          datetime.time(22, 33, 30)
          >>> aniso8601.parse_time('23.75')
          datetime.time(23, 45)
        
        Parsing durations
        -----------------
        
        To parse a duration formatted as an ISO 8601 string::
        
          >>> import aniso8601
          >>> aniso8601.parse_duration('P1Y2M3DT4H54M6S')
          datetime.timedelta(428, 17646)
        
        Reduced accuracy is supported::
        
          >>> aniso8601.parse_duration('P1Y')
          datetime.timedelta(365)
        
        A decimal fraction is allowed on the lowest order element::
        
          >>> aniso8601.parse_duration('P1YT3.5M')
          datetime.timedelta(365, 210)
        
        The decimal fraction can be specified with a comma instead of a full-stop::
        
          >>> aniso8601.parse_duration('P1YT3,5M')
          datetime.timedelta(365, 210)
        
        Parsing a duration from a combined date and time is supported as well::
        
          >>> aniso8601.parse_duration('P0001-01-02T01:30:5')
          datetime.timedelta(397, 5405)
        
        Parsing intervals
        -----------------
        
        To parse an interval specified by a start and end::
        
          >>> import aniso8601
          >>> aniso8601.parse_interval('2007-03-01T13:00:00/2008-05-11T15:30:00')
          (datetime.datetime(2007, 3, 1, 13, 0), datetime.datetime(2008, 5, 11, 15, 30))
        
        Intervals specified by a start time and a duration are supported::
        
          >>> aniso8601.parse_interval('2007-03-01T13:00:00Z/P1Y2M10DT2H30M')
          (datetime.datetime(2007, 3, 1, 13, 0, tzinfo=+0:00:00 UTC), datetime.datetime(2008, 5, 9, 15, 30, tzinfo=+0:00:00 UTC))
        
        A duration can also be specified by a duration and end time::
        
          >>> aniso8601.parse_interval('P1M/1981-04-05')
          (datetime.date(1981, 4, 5), datetime.date(1981, 3, 6))
        
        Notice that the result of the above parse is not in order from earliest to latest. If sorted intervals are required, simply use the 'sorted' keyword as shown below::
        
          >>> sorted(aniso8601.parse_interval('P1M/1981-04-05'))
          [datetime.date(1981, 3, 6), datetime.date(1981, 4, 5)]
        
        The end of an interval is given as a datetime when required to maintain the resolution specified by a duration, even if the duration start is given as a date::
        
          >>> aniso8601.parse_interval('2014-11-12/PT4H54M6.5S')
          (datetime.date(2014, 11, 12), datetime.datetime(2014, 11, 12, 4, 54, 6, 500000))
        
        Repeating intervals are supported as well, and return a generator::
        
          >>> aniso8601.parse_repeating_interval('R3/1981-04-05/P1D')
          <generator object date_generator at 0x7f698cdefc80>
          >>> list(aniso8601.parse_repeating_interval('R3/1981-04-05/P1D'))
          [datetime.date(1981, 4, 5), datetime.date(1981, 4, 6), datetime.date(1981, 4, 7)]
        
        Repeating intervals are allowed to go in the reverse direction::
        
          >>> list(aniso8601.parse_repeating_interval('R2/PT1H2M/1980-03-05T01:01:00'))
          [datetime.datetime(1980, 3, 5, 1, 1), datetime.datetime(1980, 3, 4, 23, 59)]
        
        Unbounded intervals are also allowed (Python 2)::
        
          >>> result = aniso8601.parse_repeating_interval('R/PT1H2M/1980-03-05T01:01:00')
          >>> result.next()
          datetime.datetime(1980, 3, 5, 1, 1)
          >>> result.next()
          datetime.datetime(1980, 3, 4, 23, 59)
        
        or for Python 3::
        
          >>> result = aniso8601.parse_repeating_interval('R/PT1H2M/1980-03-05T01:01:00')
          >>> next(result)
          datetime.datetime(1980, 3, 5, 1, 1)
          >>> next(result)
          datetime.datetime(1980, 3, 4, 23, 59)
        
        Note that you should never try to convert a generator produced by an unbounded interval to a list::
        
          >>> list(aniso8601.parse_repeating_interval('R/PT1H2M/1980-03-05T01:01:00'))
          Traceback (most recent call last):
            File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
            File "aniso8601/__init__.py", line 140, in date_generator_unbounded
              currentdate += timedelta
          OverflowError: date value out of range
        
        Date and time resolution
        ------------------------
        
        In some situations, it may be useful to figure out the resolution provided by an ISO 8601 date or time string. Two functions are provided for this purpose.
        
        To get the resolution of a ISO 8601 time string::
        
          >>> aniso8601.get_time_resolution('11:31:14') == aniso8601.resolution.TimeResolution.Seconds
          True
          >>> aniso8601.get_time_resolution('11:31') == aniso8601.resolution.TimeResolution.Minutes
          True
          >>> aniso8601.get_time_resolution('11') == aniso8601.resolution.TimeResolution.Hours
          True
        
        Similarly, for an ISO 8601 date string::
        
          >>> aniso8601.get_date_resolution('1981-04-05') == aniso8601.resolution.DateResolution.Day
          True
          >>> aniso8601.get_date_resolution('1981-04') == aniso8601.resolution.DateResolution.Month
          True
          >>> aniso8601.get_date_resolution('1981') == aniso8601.resolution.DateResolution.Year
          True
        
        Tests

        aniso8601 is an open source project hosted on `Bitbucket <https://bitbucket.org/nielsenb/aniso8601>`_.
        
        Any and all bugs are welcome on our `issue tracker <https://bitbucket.org/nielsenb/aniso8601/issues>`_.
        Of particular interest are valid ISO 8601 strings that don't parse, or invalid ones that do. At a minimum,
        bug reports should include an example of the misbehaving string, as well as the expected result. Of course
        patches containing unit tests (or fixed bugs) are welcome!
