Period of Time

Example 2 :

The pendulum is one of the popular Python DateTime libraries to ease DateTime manipulation. It provides a cleaner and easier to use API. It simplifies the problem of complex date manipulations involving timezones which are not handled correctly in native datetime instances.

It inherits from the standard datetime library but provides better functionality.  So you can introduce Pendulums Datetime instances in projects which are already using built-in datetime class (except for the libraries that check the type of the objects by using the type function like sqlite3).

To install this module run this command into your terminal:

 pip install pendulum
