PyO3 0.17.2 added native support for chrono in https://github.com/PyO3/pyo3/pull/2612 behind the
chrono
feature flag. You shouldn't use this crate anymore.
This crate provides newtype wrappers around chrono's NaiveDateTime
, NaiveDate
,
NaiveTime
, and Duration
structs, that can be used in PyO3
applications.
Leap seconds are handled correctly, however timezones are not supported because Python itself doesn't inherently support timezones in its datetimes.
Implementations for the serde::Serialize
and serde::Deserialize
traits can be enabled via the
serde
feature flag.
Python can store durations from negative one billion days up to positive one billion days long, in microsecond precision. However, Chrono only accepts microseconds as i64:
Python's max duration: 84599999999999999999 microseconds
Chrono's max duration: 9223372036854775807 microseconds
Python's min duration: -84599999915400000000 microseconds
Chrono's min duration: -9223372036854775808 microseconds
As you can see, Chrono doesn't support the entire range of durations that Python supports. When encountering durations that are unrepresentable in Chrono, this library truncates the duration to the nearest supported duration.
