Short, readable datetime filters.

$ pip install django-dana-time

{% load danatime %}

{{ datetime_instance|danatime:"previous year format" }}

Examples are shown with en translation/formatting and no arguments to the template tag.

All values are internationalized and localized by default using Django's internationalization and localization support.

Uses defaultfilters.time, which defaults to the localized settings.TIME_FORMAT.

Example: In en, TIME_FORMAT = 'P'.

Uses defaultfilters.date with an argument of 'MONTH_DAY_FORMAT', the localized settings.MONTH_DAY_FORMAT.

Example: In en, MONTH_DAY_FORMAT = 'F j'.

Uses defaultfilters.date with an argument of 'n/j/Y'.

Example: 10 August 2012 is formatted as 8/10/2012.

Override this by passing an optional argument with a format to the filter tag.

Pass None to use the default, localized settings.DATE_FORMAT:

{{ mytime|danatime:None }}

Pass SHORT_DATE_FORMAT to use the localized settings.SHORT_DATE_FORMAT:

{{ mytime|danatime:"SHORT_DATE_FORMAT" }}

Pass a format string like "F j, Y" to use a custom format:

{{ mytime|danatime:"F j, Y" }}

This particular format yields August 8, 2012.

See Django's available format strings for help.

Tested with all combinations of the latest versions of Python 2.7 and 3.4 with Django 1.7, 1.8, and 1.9.

After installing Django, run the tests with:

$ python runtests.py

Install tox and run tox to test in all environments. This is what the CI does.
