The TimeConverter class is accessible via the formencode.validators module.
For ampm, set use_ampm = True. For seconds, use_seconds = True. Use 'optional' for either of these to make them optional.
Examples:
>>> tim = TimeConverter()
>>> tim.to_python('8:30')
(8, 30)
>>> tim.to_python('20:30')
(20, 30)
>>> tim.to_python('30:00')
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
Invalid: You must enter an hour in the range 0-23
>>> tim.to_python('13:00pm')
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
Invalid: You must enter an hour in the range 1-12
>>> tim.to_python('12:-1')
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
Invalid: You must enter a minute in the range 0-59
>>> tim.to_python('12:02pm')
(12, 2)
>>> tim.to_python('12:02am')
(0, 2)
>>> tim.to_python('1:00PM')
(13, 0)
>>> tim.from_python((13, 0))
'13:00:00'
>>> tim2 = tim(use_ampm=True, use_seconds=False)
>>> tim2.from_python((13, 0))
'1:00pm'
>>> tim2.from_python((0, 0))
'12:00am'
>>> tim2.from_python((12, 0))
'12:00pm'
Examples with datetime.time:
>>> v = TimeConverter(use_datetime=True)
>>> a = v.to_python('18:00')
>>> a
datetime.time(18, 0)
>>> b = v.to_python('30:00')
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
Invalid: You must enter an hour in the range 0-23
>>> v2 = TimeConverter(prefer_ampm=True, use_datetime=True)
>>> v2.from_python(a)
'6:00:00pm'
>>> v3 = TimeConverter(prefer_ampm=True,
... use_seconds=False, use_datetime=True)
>>> a = v3.to_python('18:00')
>>> a
datetime.time(18, 0)
>>> v3.from_python(a)
'6:00pm'
>>> a = v3.to_python('18:00:00')
Traceback (most recent call last):
...
Invalid: You may not enter seconds
